Cherwell Valley services (Oxfordshire)

Cherwell Valley services is a motorway service station on the M40 motorway at Stoke Lyne, near Bicester, in Oxfordshire, England. In August 2011 it was rated as 3 stars by quality assessors at Visit England;[1] however, it is unknown whether this was a rating of the new or temporary building.[2]

Location

The services are located at junction 10 of the M40, and are accessed from a roundabout on the junction.

History

It was opened in 1994 and gave the 89-mile motorway its first service station,[3] four years after its completion. The site was previously occupied by a toilet facility, which had been there since the motorway's opening.

Three more service stations have since been added on the M40:

A Travelodge has existed at the service station since its opening.

2010 fire

On 15 April 2010, the main building was destroyed by fire.[4][5] The main site was to be rebuilt to a similar style to Wetherby services on the A1(M).[6] Construction on the new building started on 27 June 2010 and was completed for reopening on 30 June 2011.[7]
