It works if you have the courage to talk to people. When it does work, the distances can be HUGE. 1 man and a female presenting person in a wheelchair.Good camping spot near the petrol pumps.

Not any great spot to stand but it works well enough. Delighted to confirm the freaky geese are still there. This time they were stopping traffic―Ryancomet

So I didn’t get any car but you can try to sign, they is a road with a bus stop.The gas station doesn’t have a lot of frequence and it’s moesly truck. Nobidy were going north to M6 (maybe I was unlucky).
You can come by bus from Preston center easily.

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

Slip road to Motorway heading to M6; no place for drivers to pull over.Slow traffic can see you. Best stand on the roundabout so cars can stop at the entrance to the slip road.
