J.38 Services was built with long distance professional drivers in mind.

Located just off the M6 at Junction 38, J.38 Services was created specifically for truckers and coach drivers travelling either on the M6 or to and from the North East on the A685. Just like its sister site, Tebay Services just one mile further north, J.38 Services has established a good reputation for friendly staff and good, homemade food. However instead of farmshops, J.38 Services has been built with long distance professional drivers in mind.

We’re in a JAM and you will be too. We need your help! Communities surrounding us here at Tebay are facing up to 4 years of complete disruption. In 2027, work begins to replace 7 deteriorating M6 motorway bridges, resulting in the closure of Junction 38 in one direction for four years.

Lack of connectivity can erode communities irreparably over such a long time. Schools, businesses, and livelihoods are under threat , motorists will be at risk of accidents and emergency services will be unable to respond to calls.

No one is disputing these bridges need replacing, but we are appealing for a traffic management scheme that respects and values local people.

There is a solution to this chaos. Help us appeal to National Highways to consider local communities and keep Junction 38 fully open.
