Bus stop with lay by, quick lift to Newport
―Anonymous

Tried to get from here towards Carmarthenshire following the Brecon Road.

It took us quite long, so it might be better to try the southern route.

Anyway, caught a lift to Brecon in 15mins

Got offered 2 lifts to Newport within 25 minutes, bit of space by the junction for cars to pull in.

Waited here 90 minutes at 2pm on a Friday; lots of traffic, but couldn't even get a 15 minute ride down to Newport. Decided to get the train from nearby Pontypool & New Inn station to Newport, but thence found it difficult to get out of that city going East. However as a stance it is fairly good; you are visible to those at the traffic lights who can also pull in to the service station/McD complex.

don't know if I was lucky, but I got a lift all the way to near Swindon (could've gone to Heathrow!).
they've got plenty of time to size you up coming out of the petrol station but put Bristol or M4 to cast the biggest net if you're going that way.
I tried once using this spot for heading north, which is much much harder to do

Lots of traffic but not friendly at all. Not sure where are they going. Hitched a lift but declined further ride because of unknown end destination of a driver
