Trivia & history of Northampton Southbound

Built during the same time as the Northbound services the southbound building was initially a multi-storey building, evidenced by the now disused footbridge being higher, though when we purchased Blueboar in 1998 major renovations were conducted in the following years. During 2002 is when most major renovations occurred, with the old Cowans garage, filling station, old amenity building and parking being demolished to make way for a new building and larger filling station, with extended parking constructed from the space the previous buildings had occupied. The new additions allowed for the introduction of our well-known brands, such as McDonalds, costa and Spa at a later date due to it being trialled on the Northbound services during 2015.
