Not far up to Strensham from there Dan, but you could be right. There isn’t much for the vehicles leaving northbound until after the M50.

Michael Wood is about 16 miles before Strensham, that’s about average isn’t it?

I’m in Strensham tonight, rolled into here on 14hrs, 48mins with no fuel and only a BP card :open_mouth:

New Msa past Michael Wood on the n/b only.
Its Westmoreland.Same owners of Tebay.It will have a grass turf roof.
It took a while to get going due to Nimbies saying it will spoil their view.There is nobody living nearby ?
Now is the time to ask them for what you want there before it is too late.Send them an email for a wish list.
A keep fit room.Cv machines.Some weights.
Comfy chill out lounge for drivers only.
A Dvd cinema room.
Fridge hook up points.For trailers.
Like their other truck stop the food will be homemade and sourced in the area.

Not much help for OP this time but M5 Junc 9 A46 towards Evesham is a BP and so is Strensham South.

The new services will be called Gloucester and are being developed by the owners of Tebay, Westmorland. westmorland.com/gloucester-services-0

Yes guys, you’re both correct, unfortunately it wasn’t open, so I plodded on up to Frankley Services.

Put 400.01 litres in a 400 litre tank :open_mouth:

Oops, sorry it was J7 that I tried and was closed, J9 was the wrong direction :grimacing:

:question: :question: I thought truck drivers wanted to be treated as part of society rather than pariahs so how will that help :wink:

In Europe the hotels have acres of free Lgv parking.There are reduced rates for drivers.
Which was ideal if your night heater stopped working or just want to get out of the cab for a change if away for months on end.
An air conditioned room in Summer was very nice.
