Trivia

The services' access road actually forms part of a through route, linking a country lane (Green Lane) to the dual carriageway to the M42 (also called Green Lane). It is not a public route and it's only really useful if someone from the nearby housing estates fancies an expensive lunch.

Between 1996 and 1998 there was a Rock Island Diner here in a separate building, which later became Little Chef and then Ladbrokes.

There are 257 car parking spaces together with 18 spaces for coaches and 34 HGV spaces within the site boundary.

There are controversial plans to erect a large wind turbine at the services and also ones to add a takeaway restaurant.

A Greggs outlet is due to open here soon.
