麻豆约拍

When the M6 was built through the Dunning family farm near Penrith in the 1960s, John Dunning decided to build Tebay Motorway service station even though he was told there wouldn't be enough passing traffic. Now the motorway is very busy and his daughter Sarah has taken over and modernised the business. She now plans to open a new motorway services on the M5.

The family pride themselves on good quality food sourced locally including from the farm's herd of Galloway cattle. (The Dunnings still run the farm) However some customers complain there is no 'Burger King' .We talk to father and daughter about how expectations of the service station have changed and how motorways have opened up travel for all of us - as well as bringing employment and sustainability to a remote rural area.
