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.

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.

Author: Message: MatthewB6323m I visited this last week - while not as bad as the last two comments suggest, it's definitely quieter than it was before the A1(M) opened, and the accents heard are overwhelmingly Lancashire-Yorkshire now, the Scotland-southern England corridor largely shunning the place. Posted: 20 Apr 2010, 17:18 Anonymous If you are heading South on the A1 avoid this dump like the plague. It's miles from the A1 and the signage to the parking areas is a joke. If you miss the sharp left turn for cars,and many do, you'll have to go all the way round out to the roundabout and start again. Complete waste of time. Do you think anyone there will fix the problem? Of course not! Posted: 20 Apr 2010, 11:23 Alho Sat 10/04/10, stopped lunchyime, from A1 S/B thought i was going to hull!, anyway went to the EDC section, service terrible, even though only 2 in front of me, they commented "if you were not hungry when you got here you will be by time you get your food". About right too. Two teas served in plastic cups (for £1.99 each) got to table - cups leaking like a tap all over table. Took them back, given two more empty plastic cups - "put the leaky ones inside these"!! First visit for abt 20 years, not again - avoid. Posted: 16 Apr 2010, 21:03 Guy burton Great day out. Fun for all the family. Five stars. Beware of hgv though! Posted: 30 Dec 2009, 14:19 Alan Ferrybridge used to feel quite special. Essentially it is a big chalet, and used to have a big self-service restaurant that made great use of the space and put the high roofed area to good use. However, as Costa and BK have come and the investment has been put in their direction, the restaurant area has shrunk and feels a bit worn out. Similar abandoned shop units too as with many other Motos. The whole place just feels a bit tired and it in need of some tlc. It The M&S is good though! itn would be great to see more of a feature made of the main restaurant area as it is a great space and has so much potential. Posted: 11 Aug 2009, 20:47 Alan Judging by Moto's website today the Little Chef at Ferrybridge is no more. Shame really it was quite good too! Posted: 12 Nov 2008, 18:14 MSAman Very nice, but it took me a long time to remember to turn left (car park) as soon as you enter, which I learnt the hard way after nearly being hit by a HGV.
