Bad Bad Bad services, people are going too many different directions. Even with asking people we weren't able to get out in 2 hours, ended up bailing with a Uber to a services south of here.―Maxiental

Asked people at exit to main services, worked great, we got a lift with the first people we asked, and were able to switch directions here (does require doing some stairs though as there are no lifts!) One guy and one femme wheelchair user.―Maxiental

Really good spot, lots of charging ports for teslas - traffic go all ways but there’s lots of it. Met the only other hitchhiker I’ve ever seen in the uk here so it’s got an automatic 5/5―Kjmurray1230

This is a massive rest stop. I can highly recommend it. But when walking around the trucks, I had no luck (it took me about 45 minutes). After that, I moved to the exit with just thumbing with a sign, and it was pretty fast all the way to Leeds.―martih

Awesome spot for hitching. Large gas station. And there is an awesome view of the lake if you have a time to chill out I highly recommend to check it out.―martih

Take a train from Manchester, Bolton to Blackrod. You can see how to walk to here from the train station (10-15 minutes). Easy to catch a ride straight to Glasgow or Edinburgh―Anonymous

Slip road going onto motorway from Birch services. Go East on M62 from here or West from other side. To get here take bus 167 from Manchester Centre, get off by The White Heart pub and walk down Whittle Lane to get to service station - 10 mins.―Anonymous

Layby in easy walking distance from central Manchester. Good for hitching south. Traffic fast but a good place for it to stop.―Anonymous

J20a, people will not stop for you despite very substantial on ramp. In fact, you'll get abuse and stuff chucked at you. People from Warrington are lovely.―Anonymous
