I'm a 22-year-old public transport and motorway services enthusiast from Oldham, Greater Manchester.

My interest in motorway services began at an early age, fascinated by the variety of brands available at different ones and how each MSA operator was different to each other. Most of my photos are taken on trips travelling elsewhere- mainly for football away days and Wembley trips to watch Manchester City, hence why my percentage visited is considerably lower than most contributors to this site.

I have created a Motorway services enthusiasts group on Facebook to connect and communicate with like-minded people- feel free to check it out: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1507995443125176

Best and worst

The BBC News has the best and worst services in the country

  • The best motorway services that I have visited is Norton Canes as it offered a wide selection of brands and offers good value for money. From excellent value meals at McDonalds to freshly cooked hot meals and snacks at Fresh Food Cafe (best breakfast on the motorway).
  • I have not been to a motorway service station that I do not like however on the A roads, I found Bangor services to be old fashioned and a bit neglected. It was obvious that Burger King had tried to look after their small part of the building with their corporate layout, but the rest of the services looked neglected. However, I have not seen the new Euro Garages petrol station so my opinion of these services might change in the future.

Money saving tips at motorway services
