Trivia and Design
Full details: History:Doncaster (North)
The services's car park is a base for a local park & share scheme. It is connected by public footpath to Hugh Hill Lane and the wider road network of Thorne.
Some planning documents called it 'Hatfield North services'. The unusual choice to use parentheses could be an attempt to differentiate from the A1's Doncaster services.
For a long time there has been a plan to build a link road from M18 J5 to the local road network. This was proposed in 2005 and again at the moment, with the plan being to use some of the services's access road and provide a new roundabout half way along it.
The building at Doncaster (North) uses an atrium design with a large, south-facing, glass frontage and a glass roof running along the middle. This has since been extended forwards over the large open area at the front.
