Trivia
Not to be mixed up with Leicester Forest East and Markfield, Leicester is Extra's newest service area. It managed to crop up and get planning permission rather unscathed, and it opened on the 24th June 2008. The A46 is probably the most unimportant route ever to get a 'proper' service area.
Leicester has a twin sister - Derby with Burton services at the A38/A50 interchange opened just over four weeks after Leicester and it almost identical to it.
