Trivia:
In 1974 the IRA set a bomb off on a coach carrying off-duty members of the armed forces and their family. The incident happened just east of Hartshead services, which formed a temporary depot for the emergency services and it was where the dead and the wounded were immediately taken to. A plaque was built outside the services, but as they were extended it ended up in the main foyer. After complaints from the victim's families that this wasn't a suitable location, Welcome Break bosses have met up with them and agreed to build a memorial garden outside the eastbound service area.
Survey results:
In 2007, Hartshead Moor won a five star loo award. The inspectors said that it had the best baby changing facilities in the UK, adding that it was "spotlessly clean".
In 2006, the services won a four star loo award.
