Northampton services (Northamptonshire)
| |
Northampton services is a motorway service station off the M1 motorway and A43 interchange near Northampton. It is owned by RoadChef, and used to be called Rothersthorpe.
History
The footbridge was taken out of use in 2002 when the site was redeveloped, though it still remains in place.[1]
Location
Northampton services are located at junction 15A of the M1 at a junction with the A43, because of the way the service area has evolved, it is possible to reach and exit the services without negotiating the main junction, but uniquely it is also possible to access the service area on the opposite carriageway legally.
The services are about 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Northampton town centre and 65 miles (105 km) north west of London.
