Anyone know if Knutsford Services has a pedestrian bridge linking north and south?

And, more importantly, if it does, is the bridge open all night?

I've got to find somewhere to meet up with my lift on Thursday where I can get back from the northbound side to pick up my car at about 3am!

Can't find anywhere on the net that has a contact for the place.

Cheers
Sarah

Yes it does have a bridge linking north and south, [its a footbridge], avoid the cafe at the BP services {southbound?] its a complete rip off!

Thanks for that Sir John - do you know if it's open all night?

Don't fancy having to leg it across the carriageway to rescue my car!

I'm fairly certain it's open 24hrs. I can't find a phone number for the services but these may be of help:

There is an old hornpipe called "Knutsford Heath". Not much to do with the service station, but I thought I'd mention it.

There are also service roads for both sides that you aren't supposed to use though I have done so a few times late at night.

Many thanks folks for all your help. I've now rung the services and established that I can get from one side to the other at an unearthly hour of the morning (wonder who I can persuade to lug my gear up the steps)?

I'm sure one of those nice tattooed knights of the road HGV drivers will oblige.....(carrying the luggage that is!)

Don't lug yer gear up the steps - use the service roads and drive! There is a public road over the M6 and the service roads both appear on that - s'easy!

It's the A5033 Northwich Road...
