Motorway service stations deemed essential services and remain open 24hrs to support commercial drivers

Motorway and major trunk road services remain open 24 hours a day following advice from the government deeming them as ‘essential services’.

The welfare of commercial drivers is a priority. While some service stations have reduced their opening hours, fuel, toilets, food and drink remain available at all service stations 24 hours a day.

Drivers are able to plan their rest stop breaks using the below Highways England link. This information is updated every day.
