is anyone able to identify a service station that has like a bridge across the motorway with restaurants INSIDE the bridge? I remember going under it many times on trips up to Liverpool in the late 90s.

Newport Pagnell?

Hate that run of services on the M6

Keele
Sandbach
Knutsford

Awful stuff all round really

Which is the slightly posh one on the M5 with the farmers market and the Teletubby roof?

That looked quite impressive, but tbh all I’m ever looking for out of a service station is somewhere to use the toilet and maybe somewhere to buy a bag of crisps.

Oh and ideally a location that’s not too far from the motorway. There’s another one on the M5 (Bridgwater maybe?) which is halfway to Exmoor.

Made so much worse by the 50 mile an hour zone that has been there FOREVER

Had to stop at Knutsford on the way back from Glasgow with the plastics last year. Awful car park, weird layout, surprisingly decent toilets.

The other ‘tebay’, Gloucester services maybe?

Taunton Deane services are awful, not that you asked, but they are

got a soft spot for the petrol station just on the godalming/milford A3 exit. lovely hot pastry selection, and the cashiers used to wear those F1 ferrari shell jerseys

Awful junction. Shitty left hander, then the services then a slip road, which merges with the exit of the petrol station. Hate it.

should have probably asked for permission before publishing footage of the bike wankers trip?

absolute dearth of quality service stations from guildford to portsmouth when you think about it. go a bit beyond guildford towards London, you’ve got that nice starbucks/m&s thing, and then obviously cobham.

Places where the service station is better than the place itself:
Peterborough

Reckon they sell lots of ham cobs?

more of a corn town.
