Trivia and History
The services opened on 23 August 1994. It was known in planning as 'Bowburn services'.
Although the services were built like most Roadchefs at the time, it is on a smaller scale as it was only intended to be a cheap development that filled a gap in provision on the A1(M). That gap was first highlighted in the 1960s, and various online services were proposed then and since.
The services were the first to get a Wimpy, which was Roadchef's first High Street brand. This was placed at the far back of the small central area which the services are built around.
The filling station was originally run by Fina, later Total.
Planning permission for a Costa Drive Thru here was granted in 2017 and will be built and open soon.
