I was just going by what Moto’s own mobile app has it as.
Don’t believe ANYTHING from MOTO, they make it up as they go along. The information on this site has been provided in good faith but is for general informational purposes only. You should not rely on this information for any specific purpose and no representation or warranty is given regarding its accuracy or completeness.
But of course you don’t need to rely on the site disclaimer, Knutsford MSA has a no HGV sign, and whilst it would be a first if an MSA in the UK was allowed to exclude HGV’s ,which begs the question why or how the HA have allowed them to get away with such a sign, they also give a parking fee of £23.50 for HGV’s at Knutsford, where they’re not allowed !!!
If ssomeone wants to push the issue of no washing/showering facilities at Wetherby with the HA/DfT then i dare say the situation could be rectified, easily.
If you consider how any HGV spaces somewhere like Strensham’s got. There’s not really any services on the M6 south of Lymm that could be described as having ample. In fairness I suppose they’re all much older than Strensham.
The services on the M61 north bound wont let you shower unless you pay for parking as well,I was turned away ONCE and now drive past it often on my way to the boat
last time i went on m61 servs the place was like a bombsite, huge holes in the tarmac… and most the stuff shut down. the showers east bound at leigh delamere are free(for now) but dont leave anything on the floor unless you want it get soaked you have to get changed outside the cubicle if you want to get dry proply.

So should they charge “non paying customers” to use the toilets? They are a motorway SERVICE area, there to provide a service to the public. I would quite happily pay for parking if they didn’t charge ridiculous money. At the end if the day £100 a week is better in my pocket than a motorway service providers.
So you get paid £100 a week more than drivers who use MSA’s for overnights?
Pimpdaddy:
Why would they though? I thought they got the sweetest deal on MSAs as they bring the punters in, free meals, drinks, rest area etc…!?
Because like this thread, Moto hasnt the greatest reputation amongst coach drivers either
Welcome Break on the other hand…
Coach drivers rest area, never seen one of them, Hopwood Park services (roughly halfway from Catterick to Pembroke Dock) has dedicated tables, and the meals arent free, they charge us 1p at Welcome Break

I’m an owner driver so £100 not spent on MSA parking is £100 extra profit!!

Knew there was a reason why women shouldn’t stray too far from the kitchen…!
If you would like to point out exactly where in matt’s post that i quoted, he makes it obvious that he is an owner driver? I’ll save you the trouble (and help you get back to the washing up a bit quicker), it doesn’t.

Grow up ■■■■■, women are not always in the kitchen as some members on trucknet seem to keep saying. They are professional drivers too.
I for one support the many women truck drivers.
We have been trying hard to make it better for truckers,
introducing special offers and new services tailored to
truck drivers individual needs.[/size
When was this 1960’s ■■?
Looks like the interest is dying off on this thread. Anyone still feel like voicing their thoughts can always go on the facebook pages re Wetherby and HGV parking.
