Trivia:
The services are quite old and the bridge is very dodgy indeed. The hotel opened on the 1st June 2008.
On the 12th May 2006 a Starbucks Coffee facility (along with Coffee Primo) was added to the westbound side. It's the first Starbucks to be built on the motorway network (although one has subsequently opened at Baldock. Eastbound traffic can access it via a pedestrian's footbridge).
As part of a joint move between Warwickshire Police and Welcome Break, Corley was the first (and one of the only) services to have a permanent Police Community Support Officer. Welcome Break have noted that car crime has fallen since.
Survey results:
In 2006 and again in 2007, Corley's petrol station won a five star loo award. The services got a four star.
In 2006 Holiday Which? rated Corley as 3/5.
