lew Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Whenever I'm heading down to LSC I always stop at the ESSO station on the westbound 401 near London to gas up the truck and get something to eat. Coming home I stop at the ESSO on the eastbound for the same thing. Does anyone know if their both still open for business or have they closed down like so many other 400 series stations.

SmokestackLightnin Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Lew: This should help, it tells you which ones are fully closed, which ones are open with limitations and which ones are fully open: http://www.mto.gov.o...d-answers.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowPoke Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Lew, my advice would be to avoid fueling near London.... around $1.06/lt Tilbury is your best bet around $.98/lt. When I go to LSC I stop at Bloomfield Rd. Esso in Chatham (100yrds south of 401) for gas usually about .01 more than Tilbury but they have a nice store, bathrooms and a 24hr Subway so you can buy your lunch at the same time.

Dave Bailey Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Lew, my advice would be to avoid fueling near London.... around $1.06/lt Tilbury is your best bet around $.98/lt. I'll second that. I travel to Windsor frequently and I always stop at the Pilot on the west side of Tilbury. Cheapest gas on the route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 If you want to eat Lew and gas up,I would recommend the Flying J in London.JMO. It,s right off the hwy,2 minutes. I go there everytime I have to visit our customer Brose. http://www.restaurantica.com/on/london/flying-j-country-market/23503679/map/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misfish Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Thanks for all the suggestions boyz !! Travelling would be much easier if they'd stop tearing down all the service centers As much as I love the ol truck stops Lew(greasy bacon and eggs ),they are in need of upgrading or rebuilding.

SlowPoke Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 All the service centres west of London are open. The Flying J is no more. It is now a Shell gas bar with a Denny's (still under construction) The "J" gas deal is gone too; they're as much as in town and they no longer have Flying J discount card. Fortunately for those that know, 10 minutes south of the J, gas is 6-8 cents cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squid Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Yeah the service centres are up and running down that way Lew. And on the way back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowPoke Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 WOW since when Brian? I was there just a couple months ago. They must have waitied until you left! Actually, its been Shell for a while (Air Miles) and the sign is up for Denny's in the last week but they're still doing interior construction. London FINALLY gets the 'Grand Slam' breakfast and $6.00 onion rings Next time you're in the area; give me a ring, I live about a minute north of there.

Handlebarz Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 For the guys and girls heading this way this weekend the Sub Way at Bloomfield road put up a sign for Saturday and Sunday deals buy 1 foot long get the second FREE all weekend. and the price in Chatham is just as Brian was saying about the same as Tilbury. Now the service centers in Westlorn area have KFC Timmies Taco hell and A&W on both sides of the HWy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
