History edit

 
The interior in 2009

Opened on 9 March 2004,[1] the 68-acre (28 ha) site[4] the site was announced as featuring table service in the restaurant during the evening and free screen washes in the petrol station during quiet periods.[1] It has been described as having "the look of a Scandinavian airport lounge".[4] At opening, the service area produced 200 jobs for the local area.[5]

The 2019 Motorway Services User Survey found that Norton Canes had the highest customer satisfaction of motorway services in the UK.[6]

Location edit

 
Layout of Norton Canes Service Station on the M6 Toll.

Norton Canes services is located on the M6 Toll between junctions T6 and T7, and is positioned so that it can be accessed before reaching the main toll plaza in either direction. It is a single-sided site, unlike a large majority of other service areas which have separate facilities for each direction. For this reason it is possible to do a U-turn at the services; however, it is not possible to avoid the toll in that way.

Present day edit

The petrol forecourt is operated by BP and is located to the south of the main services building. In March 2016, a McDonald's restaurant was opened at the site.[7]
