Washington services is a unique location on the A1(M) with several peculiar features, including its position straddling the boundary between Gateshead and Sunderland, which originally led to it being known as Washington-Birtley. The site boasts an architecturally interesting, if somewhat inconsistent, building with an airy southbound section and a notably long walk for northbound travellers. Notable oddities include the unusual southbound exit that allows for a rare opportunity to give way on a motorway, complex slip roads for northbound drivers that require turning around in the lorry park, and a history of manually patched fuel price signs. Recent developments include significant expansions in electric vehicle charging capacity, the conversion of a restaurant into a KFC, and the recent reopening of the footbridge following repairs necessitated by the discovery of RAAC.

Motorway Services is a Good Stuff website.
