Some drivers avoid motorway service areas, according to another thread.
But you and I both know a lot the areas will be packed later on today, so somebody is using them.
This 'just off the motorway look for a pub or supermarket' m'larkey is all very well if you have the time to do it.
I like the large seating areas which means I can get the netbook out and work/play for as long as I want without feeling I'm in anyone's way or being scowled at.
The food and drink at the few service areas I visit has been on the nice side of OK for some years now.
Free wifi is another big attraction to me.
Only problem is the price, although I had a plate of fish and chips at Bowburn on the A1(M) recently which was tasty and good value at £5.95.
My current favourite area is Wetherby on the A1(M), big, airy, shiny and new, and free wifi.
What more could the weary traveller want?
Anyone care to name a favourite station, or put in a good word for them generally?
