Truck Stop - United Kingdom

United Kingdom

In the UK the term "truck stop" is not in common use and the equivalent stops are either transport cafes signposted simply as "Services", including many similar features to truck stops but also frequented by the majority of motorway traffic. They often include Travelodge accommodation, places to eat and newsagent shops such as WHSmith.

Service stations, as they are colloquially known, charge higher prices compared to equivalent stores on the high street.
