Yes, it's Woodall northbound. If it still had Welcome Break's old logo then there wouldn't have been a WH Smith there - I think the whole sign has been added.

Motorway Services Online The otherwise evil CP Plus have refunded a motorist who stayed over the two-hour parking limit because "the road was busy". Could this be the start of something great?

The way I look at it is that Moto have finally remembered their job is to rest tired drivers. So far all I've heard about Moto and CP Plus is that they enforce the rules to the letter, issue many false positives and harass people until they pay up. It's nice to hear a story where this isn't a case, even if the guy's argument was a bit flimsy!

(I think he used the usual argument of having not seen any signs.)

On the downside, I've realised that means 45 edits need to be made to this site.

It took me a while, but I'm guessing that it's they all have a McDonalds except for Sandbach which used to in the 1990s.

I think most RoadChefs had a McDonalds in the '90s before they brought in Wimpy.
