| motorway service area | придорожный сервис (In the UK motorway service areas, also known as service stations, are places where drivers can leave a motorway to refuel, rest, or take refreshments. The vast majority of motorway services in the UK are owned by one of three companies: Moto, Welcome Break and RoadChef. However, Extra are also developing a network of service areas. Only 20 motorway services in the UK remain in the ownership of the Department for Transport and let on 50-year leases to private operating companies. Some service stations also have hotels next to them offering motorists cheap overnight accommodation. WK Alexander Demidov) |
