This page lists any services which we know were once planned, but what we know is very vague. If more can be found, the exact location being the most important detail, then they can be moved onto their own page.
If you have any information, please edit this page.

Redbourn
On the M1 between J8 and J9, proposed in the late 1990s. There have also been suggestions that it was the name of a very early planned service area too.
Wootton Bassett
On the M4 between J16 and J17, ruled out in favour of Leigh Delamere.
Kingston Seymour
On the M5 between J20 and J21.
East Bower
On the M5 between J23 and J24, ruled out in favour of Bridgwater.
North Petherton
On the M5 between J24 and J25.
Willand
On the M5 between J27 and J28, Cullompton was built instead.
Caan Lake
On the M6 somewhere between J19 and J20, proposed whilst it looked like Knutsford would be demolished when a new motorway, the A556(M), was built. The A556(M) was put on hold and Lymm truckstop expanded instead.
Preston
Two services were proposed near Preston, both of them nameless. One would have been on the M6 south of the M55 junction, and one on the M65 instead of Blackburn with Darwen.
Ickleton
Name thrown around for an M11 service area.
Doncaster
A service area was proposed at the southern end of the M18.

Thought to be on the M25 near J17, the services were proposed in the late 1990s.

Early plans for services on the M54, between J3 and J4, now superseded by Telford.

Several services have been proposed around Micklefield, Aberford and Bramham but very little is known about them.
Church Broughton
A proposed service area on the unbuilt M64.
