It became Shell quite recently and now has the same price, so last time I passed filled up there without having to queue at pump or till.

In this particular case I suspect it will get a fair bit of HGV traffic as the bigger station is only accessible to HGV's one way so they complement each other. It seems to be well equipped for that too.

Going by it again tomorrow returning home so will check prices as we pass on the outward journey.
