It is situated on two bases at each side of the motorway, and was opened in early 1996 as the second of four service stations which serve the M40. Throughout 2007 the northbound Days Inn hotel was closed as the ground floor had completely flooded, although it has since reopened.[2]

Until recently they had to be signed as 'Welcome Break Coffee Primo' as they only recently gained a KFC outlet. The southbound services were one of the first to gain a KFC facility.

gollark: Also ApioServ, not that that's operating right now.
gollark: Anyway, there's a program which sends system load/CPU/RAM use alerts on APIONET somewhere from the HNode™, the RSAPI IRC interface for IncDec/now playing/nothing else whatsoever, Testbot, and AutoBotRobot's IRC interfacing.
gollark: It's probably only 30 at most. Perfectly reasonable.
gollark: I think I operate something like four things you can technically call IRC bots now.
gollark: Fascinating!
