Hello and welcome to the motorway man and welcome to Washington services on the A1(m) between J65 and at J64. Washington services shares its name with the capital city of America, but we are actually closer to the city of Newcastle upon Tyne. Washington is a very interesting service station and can claim lots of honours: for example, Washington services is both the most northern service station on the motorway and has the longest footbridge to connect both sides!
The bridge at Washington services was great 😃👍!!!
Washington is also one of only 2 service stations to officially have two names. Its full title is Washington-Birtley services , but most shorten it to Washington. The other is Leeds Skelton lake services on the M1. You can watch a tour of Leeds elsewhere on the channel.
The northbound is small and cramped, the southbound is large and spacious.
You should watch a service station tour of Ferrybridge services next or of my Rise and fall of Little chef as they're both great episodes.
