Faster routes meant less need for stops, and drivers could snack in their cabs in comfort. |
Those prices are reasonable even back then.

So the Enterprise Cafe was demolished in 2005 for a housing estate and the Priory Cafe is now an 'Inn' with B&B at £85 |

I'd much rather sit indoors than in the cab to have a break, but of course it doesn't always work out that way. :)

My favourite was the Moss Cafe just North of Carlisle on the A74 now M74, but alas it is now long gone.
