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.

Survey results:

In 2006 the services won a four star loo award.

Gets an 'above average' in my books. Not as good as some of our latest ones, but an effort has been made to make it better than what we are normally faced with.
