Hi as the title says. I need to meet someone at a service station on the m1 as far up as the m6. I'm think there is at least one which has a walk way so you can cross north to south i cant remember which one it is.
Any one got any ideas of which service stations i can use

Tebworth?

Why not just meet at a petrol station off the motorway, or do you need the bridge for an exchange like the Gilenicker Bridge?

Leicester Forrest a bit further, but the food court is over the motorway.

Given that you both have to turn around at some point, is the access that important?

There is one on the M6 just before the turn off to Bedworth/Nuneaton (if you are heading towards the M1) or jtust past that junction if you are heading towards Birmingham.

Other than that I can't help.

Toddington has a bridge I think.

It also used to have an access road from non-mway to southbound and back if he felt like it.

There are small services off the main roundabouts at both J22 and J24.

Would Northampton services be about half way?

Have a look in satellite view on Goggle Maps.

Newport Pagnell has a pedestrian footbridge to the other side, so as long as you can carry what you have sold, that's probably the best location.

I might be being a bit dim here,but I thought all motorway services had a connecting bridge. I've never seen one that hasn't annd I'm pretty sure I've stopped at most if not all at some point over the years.

Clackett Lane doesn't, officially.
