A small but modern service station on the M54, forming a gateway for traffic heading west towards Mid Wales. It offers a lot of architecture for visitors to look at, although on a very petty point the toilets are one of the narrowest that I've seen!

Trivia:
Telford is the last 'proper' service area for traffic heading west towards Mid Wales and the A5. Hilton Park services sit between where traffic from the M54 would join and leave, if it was a mile further south it could be said that Telford services aren't needed. Whoops.
The services have an official cat, a visitor left it behind and never claimed it back so now the staff take care of it. It's used to keep the rats down and it had several kittens, which have now been given to the RSPCA.
The services opened on the 17th March 2003.
Survey results:
In 2006 and again in 2007, Telford won a five star loo award.
