Trivia

Until recently Blyth was situated on the A1 southbound, but thanks to a roundabout with the A614 being just north of it and a loop road linking the services to the A614, they were accessible to traffic on both sides of the carriageway. Roadworks have since replaced the roundabout with a 'proper' motorway junction. The loop road's connection to the A1(M) has been closed and the old exit has become two-way.

Opposite the services is the site of the old Hilltop roadside café which closed in the 1980s, around the time that the services opened (it's not clear which happened first). It was ran by Blue Star - probably not the same as the forecourt operator and had direct access from the A1 northbound.

An M&S store opened here in March 2011.

Survey Results

In 2006 the services won a four star loo award.
