Shower, divable dumpster and a good camp spot. What more could you want. Also a quick lift―Ryancomet

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

Bolton West service station. I have never used these services to hitch from, but I have stopped there several times as a driver. I would speculate that it's a bad spot for hitching. The service area is very run down and last time I went it was due for major refurbishment. I'm not saying don't use it, but maybe it's best to avoid if you can find another way.―Anonymous

Got dropped off here begin of April. Got a ride at 5pm within 10min with my sign saying "M6 North". Waited after the petrol station. Since there is no service but just the petrol station its not that busy.―LaZubi

Entrance to slip road from roundabout. Best for M6 South or M65 East.Place for cars to stop on the hard shoulder.
A sign is required.

Great spot, maybe got lucky but a delivery driver took me trait to edinburgh. The only problem is getting here if you haven't just got drop of because the closest train station is 5km but still not bad.―PPptas

Had a sign saying M6 North, got a lift to Preston with a lovely bloke. Didn't take long at all but it was at around 5pm so a few people were heading home―Anonymous
