The last services on the M62, Ferrybridge is quite small and was significantly hurt when the A1 through the junction was given a by-pass away from the road. A1 traffic can still access it but it's not as easy as it once was.

Trivia

As soon as you leave the roundabout to enter the services the road splits (left for cars and coaches, right for lorries), and the suddenness of this catches many people out each day.

This was the first service area to be developed privately and without a nudge from the government, hence the profitable location. It gave way to other strategic developments by Granada such as Chieveley and Markfield.

The Greggs store opened here on 30th October 2012.
