Indeed - unless, in the days prior to mobile phones, you're travelling
with other vehicles and want to meet up there! During the short
period that Forton was only referred to as Lancaster, we ended up with
one Scout minibus there and another at Burton, having arranged to meet
at Forton and one driver not knowing exactly where it was, and ended
up having to phone the other service station and get a PA put out for
them to explain what had happened...
