Wetherby Services is a motorway service area north of Wetherby on the A1(M) motorway in northern England.[1] It opened in September 2008, and the hotel (a 126-bed Days Inn hotel, the first major hotel in the north of the town) opened later. The service station is situated at junction 46 of the A1(M), the interchange between the A1(M) and the B1224. The service area is accessed from a roundabout, making it accessible from both sides of the motorway. It lies just inside North Yorkshire in the parish of Kirk Deighton, although the town of Wetherby is on the West Yorkshire side of the boundary. It is operated by Moto Hospitality.
The next services in each direction are at Leeming Bar (north) and Ferrybridge (south).[citation needed]
The service station uses the latest 'green technologies' in its construction and running, making it the UK's first carbon neutral service station.[2]
