Local coverage across Ely
We cover Ely and the surrounding CB7 area: Ely, Littleport border, Stretham, Witchford, Queen Adelaide, Prickwillow border, Soham border. Whether you are on a main road, a market-town street, a fen lane or the A-road network, we can reach you and get the vehicle moving, the battery started, or the car safely recovered.
Our operators know the Ely road network: the A10 that runs from Cambridge up through Ely to Kings Lynn, the A142 to Newmarket and Chatteris across the Stuntney causeway, and the town’s several railway level crossings. The A10 and A142 are the main arteries, and the level crossings and single fen causeways are well-known bottlenecks.
Ely is England’s smallest city, famous for its cathedral, the ‘Ship of the Fens’, sitting on a low island in the flat fenland north of Cambridge. The A10 and A142 carry all the through traffic, the railway level crossings at Ely can hold up the roads for long periods, and the fen causeways flood in wet weather. Our operators know the A10, the A142 Stuntney causeway and the crossings, and where it is safe to load a stranded car.

What to do if you break down in Ely
A few quick steps keep you safe while you wait for recovery.
Get to safety
Pull over as far from traffic as you can, switch on your hazard lights and, if it is safe, leave the vehicle from the side away from passing traffic.
Make yourself visible
Put on a hi-vis if you have one and use a warning triangle on normal roads. On a motorway or red route, stay behind a barrier and do not place a triangle.

Look for a street name, building, junction or marker post. It helps us reach you faster and confirm the nearest safe access point.
