The services originally opened in 1974[2] with two sites, one one each side of the motorway (the traditional layout of a British service station). However in 2008 the Westbound site was closed[3], traffic wishing to use the services now must use the opposite site, accessed from the roundabout. The former Westbound site is now owned by a developer.[4]
The following facilities can be found at the Welcome Break Service area and are accessible to all traffic from all directions via Junction 8 of the M62[5]:
The Westbound site was bought by Marshalls [4] and is being redeveloped for commercial usage. The development is to be known as Gemini 8[6]. Tenants so far include a Travelodge motel [7] and a Starbucks Coffee Outlet. Furthermore, a Harvester (restaurant) is to open soon. The development is accessed from Junction 8 and is located adjacent to Gemini Retail Park.
The services are located off junction 8 of the M62, access is from the roundabout from all directions.
