Is that Beaconsfield, because of the pub?

Used to get 1p meal deal at Moto's, when driving lorries & coaches.

Used to use M6 toll and stopped there twice. It was deserted like a ghost town. Only one person on till. Being on a road you have to pay for I'm not surprised it's come out on top hardly anybody to make it dirty.

Use Thurrock quite a lot. Cannot say toilets are bad and you can sit outside looking over the "lake". Never that busy either.

Thread reopened to ask why Motor & Way are 2 separate words each beginning with a capital letter?

Thread obviously not closed - saying 'Thread closed' never seems to work. Funny that.................


Assuming you mean that you think Gloucester and Tebay are the best two, can't disagree with that. Different class.

Rating a motorway service area highly is a bit like saying Zaha is worth £70m

Can't find the detail, but apparently even if a respondent said they were "fairly satisfied" (ie not very), they're grouped in the "satisfied" rating - hence very high satisfaction ratings, right up to 100%.

Cheeky.

Yes, the main thing they excel at is grossly overpricing everything they sell.

M6 toll have Best disabled toilets by a mile. They have privacy curtains, ceiling tracked hoists, height adjustable sinks, changing table, and space to manoeuvre wheelchair. Was blown away. Went to find duty manager to thank them. Made it so much easier for me and my son.

Pease Pottage was joint second in the list, with 99% favourable ratings

Absolute dump: no idea who's voted for it.
