Cheapest truckstop?

Exelby Services on the A19 northbound i think. £2.50 !!! Ok i think the cafe is closed by tea time and it doesn’t hold very many spaces, 20 tops i would guess. But theres a toilet a shower and a shop ,no cash machine but does take card. It does all the fuel cards as well. No security as such but the fuel forecourt is manned and its small enought to see whats going on. Half empty (or full) when i got there and all the laybys where full? Gotta be better than a layby surely? Anyway, don’t pass the word about to much as you might not get in then ! :wink:
Lets just see if the proposed new services by Wetherby charges ‘the going rate for the area’ when it opens !!

New services at weatherby Mike. is that whats going on down there?

:question: :question: :question: :question: :question: :open_mouth:

Must be going to be some services at Wetherby,judging by the amount of roadworks going on at the moment. :wink:

Best one for me,when I did nights out,and wasn’t far from Stevie.C’s gaff,went like this:

Free parking.
Free shower.
Free food.
Good company.

Well that’s the reason !!! J46 isn’t anywhere near Wetherby !!! :laughing: :unamused: :unamused:

J46 is Crossgates, East Leeds, about 10 miles away! And yes, I knew they were on about a truckstop there for a while now.

Ah … !

You’re right and I apologise Mike !!!

It’s actually gonna be HERE which is indeed J46 of the A1.

The junction nos. are too similar round there (A1/M1) and I was also getting confused with the hotel they’re building (built?) at M1 J46.
