Bit of a long shot, but has anyone got a photo of the Ace Cafe at Weedon Northants, when it was open, I worked there for best part of a Year and would love a picture of it.

Hello folks, I dont think I remember it like the pictures so far posted.. I am sure it was larger than that. with big front windows and trees in front of that ..maybe I am wrong was it not on the northside of the A45? .I never went insidevery often always trying to get back to Maidstone before I ran out of hours with about 3.1/4 hours from home.. I think they might have had driver accomodation there and I seem to remember drivers overnighting going to the Duncow for evening refreshment.. I bet I have got it totally wrong...Regards Alan

looking at your red bus avatar.remember the bus /transport cafe on the A64. it burnt out a few year,s back ,but i think it,s now re-opened.

If you mean the one on the left, going out of Leeds, before the A1, yes it's still there.

My expert can't remember if it's an early Olypian or a Daimler Fleetline.

hi redd9, i've just joined the forum, i noticed your post regarding the ace cafe,i used to use the cafe on a regular night trunk.we used to change over with harris road services from chester, that was back in 1972/73. I've just had a look at the pic of the old cafe, that brought back some memories, all those years ago. when did you work there? erfman

I was there from 1984 to 85, mostly on nights.
