Does that mean London Gateway services can be called Scratchwood again? Otherwise travel reports will get very confusing. |

I have a very good and free Android app called Marine Traffic which shows the whereabouts of almost every big boat in the world! Worth a look.

I can imagine if it does get used it is a destination for dropping off and picking up coach passengers. Phil |

The advantage of that particular motorway services is that it's all on one side of the motorway. Southbound vehicles cross over the motorway to join the service area on the northbound side, so it's a good place for vehicles coming from both directions to meet. Having concluded their business, vehicles can leave in the opposite direction from which they arrived. |
