To make a 150 car charging super hub apparently.

Almost certain it’s wetherby services. But I read an article someware saying there submitted plans to move/ make the truck parking smaller to install 150 ev charging points .
End of day think this will be the trend as more and more electric cars go on the road they have to charge up someware.
And.truck spaces is the obvious candidate to be used
I stand corrected a little. Wetherby services want to turn the current hgv parking into 150 ev charging points along with solar panels.
And. rebuild a new 200 space hgv parking area. No doubt miles away from the main building
I remember when Watford Gap first opened. They, like many others, had a separate cafe for drivers.
The Blue Boar was a transport cafe on the A5, a stone’s throw away and Watford Gap took the name when it closed down.

Joyous places…
Filled with cigarette smoke, the smell of fried food and the sounds of whingeing drivers. If you drove by with a rubbish looking double sheet job looking tatty, you were ridiculed forever.
‘Can I have 2 sausages that look like spent shotgun cartridges, an egg of indeterminate temperature, bacon that’s either raw or burnt with beans that stick to anything please’.
‘We don’t serve food like that in here.’
‘You did last week’.
But the prices were reasonable and most drivers had enough time to eat, wash up and kick back for a while. Not a hi-viz vest in sight.

‘We don’t serve food like that in here.’. IIRC Their nasty food was dished up paper plates.

blue boar cafe…a cool name , “spent shotgun cartridges” be a good title for an eatery too. Last week i passed a burger van “buck tooth brians” i surely must drop in to see the teeth
It’s nice to see on the plans proposed for Wetherby that the HGV parking will be even further away from civilisation.
And as regards burger vans I used one in ,I think,Rugby called Pam’s Baps and if you asked nicely she would show you them 
Burger van at end of m67 called big baps makes me chuckle when pass it.
Used it a couple of times and do decent stuff there
If anyone ever saw recent full monty spin off series on Amazon I think.
Fella there ran a cafe called big baps .customers and public took pee out of his name and he didn’t get the joke what it meant. And in the end the pc brigade made them change the name as it offended some people.
I know it’s only a TV series…but you could imagine it actually happening I. Real life.
