Folkestone Services has been ranked as the best service station for lorry drivers, in a survey carried out by West Midlands-based haulier Breakwells Transport, writes Carol Millett.
The freight shipping and haulage company’s survey ranked service stations across the UK with an index based on HGV parking availability, price, amount of healthy food options available, and hotel ratings to find which UK service stations are the best and worst for lorry drivers.
Folkestone Services topped the list, with a score of 62 out of 100 points, closely followed by Lym Services in Cheshire (61/100) and Cobham Services in Surrey (60/100).
At the other end of the scale, Leeming Bar Services, on the A1 (M) in Nottinghamshire, gained the dubious accolade of being the worst service station on the list, scoring just 20 marks out of 100, followed by Barton Park (21/100), and Markham Vale (24/100).
