London Orbital (M25) - Service Areas
In message , Robin Cox
writes "Richard J." wrote in message ... This is not a change in design policy. There have been several such service areas for many years, e.g. Aust on M4 (now Severn View on M48), Gordano on M5, Exeter on M5, in addition to Scratchwood. Isn't Scratchwood now "London Gateway"? And if so, why did they change the name? Because "Scratchwood" had a reputation for being awful so (oldest trick in the book) they went for a rebranding. Incidentally, to get this back on topic for London (!) I would point out that the guns on HMS Belfast are permanently trained on Scratchwood/London Gateway. Unfortunately, they never fire...... ;-) And why did they change Hilton Park (M6) to (can't remember name) "Birmingham North" and back to Hilton Park again? Because it was nowhere near Birmingham. Frankley also became "Birmingham South" for a while, before changing back. It was particularly noticeable in that instance as it lies, er, West of Birmingham! -- Ian Jelf, MITG, Birmingham, UK Registered "Blue Badge" Tourist Guide for London & the Heart of England http://www.bluebadge.demon.co.uk |
