New ASA's (TRSA)

Post by SteveA30 »

The chosen name for A road Service Areas, which seem to be quietly proliferating. I tried A Road Service Enterprises but, decided against it. A Road Services wasn't much better, so ASA it is.
There is a newish one at A38 Wellington bypass. Shell with a Subway and separate Costa and McDonalds nearby. I don't know if it is signed from M5 but, it was very busy with holidaymakers, although they could have been from the many A38 overspillers.

Any others recently opened?

Roads and holidays in the west, before motorways.

The official term is TRSA.

An extensive list is on MSO: https://motorwayservicesonline.co.uk/

The Oval at M1/A45 is on that list but, the A38 Wellington or possibly Chelston TRSA isn't. Also new is A350/A3049 rbt. Shell/Subway/Budgens. 24 hrs. A Costa is intended for the adjacent site but, is still in the earthmoving stage.
