Trivia
The services are quite old and the bridge is very dodgy indeed. The hotel opened on the 1st June 2008, although one had been planned here for many years.
On the 12th May 2006 a Starbucks Coffee facility (along with Coffee Primo) was added to the westbound side. It's the first Starbucks to be built on the motorway network (although one has subsequently opened at various extra services. Eastbound traffic can access it via a pedestrian's footbridge). The services were also the first to get a Coffee Primo.
As part of a joint move between Warwickshire Police and Welcome Break, Corley was the first (and one of the only) services to have a permanent Police Community Support Officer. Welcome Break have noted that car crime has fallen since.
