EspañolSEVERN VIEW SERVICES
'Severn View services' is a motorway service station on the M48 motorway near the village of Aust, northwest of Bristol. It is owned by Moto. It was formerly called 'Aust Services'.
Originally opened for the M4 motorway, when the road was diverted over the Second Severn Crossing it was expected that these services would close. The original building which offered views of the River Severn was closed and sold.
The Manic Street Preachers band member Richey James Edwards's car was found abandoned in the service station car park when he was reported missing. One speculation is that he committed suicide by jumping from the Severn Bridge, although Edwards was never declared dead and his whereabouts are still not known.
In 1978 a government report stated that this service station had the largest public cafeteria in the United Kingdom.
