Trivia
One of the newer services, Doncaster was proposed by Pavilion and it had planning permission for ten years before it opened in 2000. A mile south there is land shaped for the Hatfield services which was never utilised as it was thought to be better to build Doncaster and serve two roads in one, especially given that the M180's rather nondescript landscape has a habit of sending drivers to sleep.
It had one of the last remaining trucker's cafés on the motorway network.
Survey Results
In 2006 the services won a five star loo award.
