Christmas Day petrol - SV650.org

15-12-04, 11:35 AM

Does anyone know of any petrol stations that will be open on Christmas Day within 150ish miles of East London/Essex? If not, pointers to a web site that might be of some help would be appreciated. I've tried the AA, RAC and Petrol Retailers Association sites so far, with no luck. Googling a few weeks ago brought up some places from last year but they don't seem to be showing up now.

All/most/some suggestions gratefully received.

Going for a ride? Strap a can to the pillion pad!

Motorway services should be open - they're required to be, by law.

I doubt many motorway services would close, even if they were allowed to, too much money to be made.

Yeah - many are closed in the morning, but open up at about 2:00pm. The staff seem to be more interested in double/triple time than listening to Her Majesty.............. dunno what the world is coming to

Don't forget the TOIL as well, if you get it right it sometimes works out as 4x pay.
