Default London Orbital (M25) - Service Areas

Actually I agree they used to be horrible (very occasionally
I'll stumble across an unreconstructed one).


I don't agree! My favourite service station is the unreconstructed Medway on
the M2. I think it used to be called Farthing Corner. It should be listed,
because you can really feel the vision of the original motorway service
stations there. The architect clearly believed in the fahn fahn fahn off der
autobahn. The newer service stations see the motorway as a hotrrible source
of noise and fumes to be ignored at all cost.

That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes
