Why do service stations offer truck drivers such a woefully inadequate range of services?
They should be looking after HGV drivers instead of providing insufficient parking and very expensive meals— £6 or £7 a time. Because of the lack of parking I often have to use the space for coaches. Then a coach load of 50 people hasn't got anywhere to park. Services are often disgraceful. Take showers, or the lack of them, for example. In one service station I stopped at this week there was just one shower. Apart from t-ie disgusting shower curtain, people were rattling on the door, wanting to come in.
Service stations ought to follow the example of truckstops where there are banks of showers, affordable meals and other services. If they don't, a valuable source of income—truckers—will turn their backs even more. All Buckman
