History

In April 2007, the services were even voted the worst in Britain by members of Vans United.^[1] After selling their other two motorway services (Bridgwater and Rivington, aka Bolton West) to Moto and Eurogarages respectively, First then went quiet until, in August 2011, news broke that Magor services had been sold to Roadchef.^[2][3][4]
