Trivia and History
The site is often called 'Eggington services'.
Both petrol stations appeared in the 1970s, shortly after the A38 was upgraded to become a dual carriageway. The northbound petrol station has a property called The Bungalow.
In the late 1970s the Eggington branch of Little Chef opened next to the petrol station (also providing access to a house). This closed in around 2005 and became the OK Diner.
In 2008 Derby with Burton opened one mile to the north, providing some competition.
