3. Only two service station between junctions 12 to 26 serve LPG fuel (Liquid petroleum gas) Northampton services is one, which is the other?

Yep, despite the fact there are more and more cars now running on LPG, it would appear that its still pretty hard to come by. Particularly on the M!

Travelling south from J26, they are Trowell, Donnington, Leicester Forest East, Watford Gap, Northampton and Newport Pagnall services.

10. On any particular rush hour. Between which 2 junctions can you almost always guarantee queues?

Answer: 23a to 24a

At least 3 out of 5 days there will be horrendous queues between junctions 23a and 24a. It always amazes me though how many drivers will go into the fast lane at this point. That's the worst of the queues!
From experience, go into the slow lane and stay there for the duration of the queue. You will be out the other end in half the time as the fast lane losers!
