popped in yesterday for a 15 minute break.
its just off the m40, at beaconsfield, its 1 of the first group.
i know alot are not lovers of motorway services, but as they go, this is prob as good as it gets, moto, welcome break, and co, could take a leaf ouf of firsts book.
its big, well layed out, good parking, prob room for about 60 trucks, and guessing with its proximity too the 25, it will be busy.
has a starbucks, maccy d’s, kfc, a restaraunt, coule of cafe type laces, a shop, and an m and s sho, due too open soon.
think i spotted 2 showers, but don’t know if they have basins in them for shaving, or if we still have too do it, whilst jo bloggs takes a ■■■■■ behind you.

the garage is shell, and its big.

£100, but you get a free sandwich & small capacino with this. :laughing: :smiling_imp:

(In case you didnt realize, the previous statement is a complete fabrication from my imagination!) :stuck_out_tongue:

Cullompton is ok, clean and tidy, just a pity it’s between the m-way and the railway line :wink:

I stopped at the Derby services off the A38/A50 and i was impressed. Nice and clean, not the biggest lorry park in the world (about the same size as the coach park! :confused: ) But overall not the worst place to stop for a break. All the lorry parks that i have stopped in, run by this particular company, require vehicles to reverse into the bays and i havent seen any that you can drive into.
