All right to go to Birmingham, somewhat harder to go towards London, but as in this country everything revolves around that city, you'll get there all right. I was standing in the entrance area to the restaurant bit and they tried to kick me out... just before I got lucky, finally.―Anonymous

Good spot to go northbound.Someone took me from there to Manchester.
I had extraordinary luck there, got picked up literally the moment I walked out of the station.

[A38 EASTBOUND]It took a matter of seconds holding up a "DERBY :)" sign in order to get me a hitch there on a recent sunny weekday afternoon. This spot is a safe 1.9 mile walk from Lichfield Trent Valley Station, well connected to Birmingham and the West Coast Main Line. One thing to be wary of is that the layby is not long after the brow of a hill and traffic is moving quickly so it's advisable to stand closer to the exit of the layby so as to allow traffic the time to stop.

Was there on a Sunday morning. Not a lot of cars but manage after a while. There's space for them to stop though and they are coming quite slow so you should manage too―Elv
