Car recovery Thorney

Thorney is a small town with a big road through it. The A47 bypasses the centre, but traffic between Peterborough, Wisbech and King’s Lynn passes within a few hundred metres of the abbey, and most of it is heavy goods. East of the town the road runs straight across open fen to Thorney Toll and Guyhirn, with drains on both sides and very few lay-bys.

24 hour car recovery in Thorney

• Cars and vans stopped on the A47 verge between Eye and Thorney, where the road is narrow and fast.
• Breakdowns on the B1040 to Whittlesey and Crowland, a quiet fen road with sharp bends at the drains.
• Cars that won’t start on driveways and in the village centre, especially on cold mornings.
• Farm and work vans with a flat battery or a fuel problem on the droves.

If you stop on the A47, get everyone out on the verge side, well away from the car, and call 999 if it is stuck in a live lane. Then call us with which side of Thorney you are on: towards Peterborough or towards Wisbech.
