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

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

I use this for M6 Southbound, there's a petrol station and a Macdonald. At the exit from the petrol station people from the road and the petrol station can see you. There's a bus stop to pull in at just after as well. Also there's a pedestrian crossing where traffic stops so they can get a good look at you and (hopefully) see that you look nice!―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

Have used this place multiple times and never got a ride in less than 45mins. On one occasion it took over 3 hours. However, I've always got a ride, and there's not many other options in Manchester. If you do decide to try this spot, any ride going vaguely in the direction you need will probably result in you finding a better spot than this one, so it's often worth taking the chance on any ride offer from here. Getting to M6 J19, or M6 Knutsford Services from here is definitely worth it.―Tmoon

Very BAD experience, we stayed on petrol station around 15 min but then staff asked us to leave―Anonymous

waited 3 hours and then walked 2 km south west to the next slip road which was quiet and much better , after a kind driver told me to give up at that point at the fuel station―Colinc

not very good point, but we hadn't more opportunity. stayed there around 1 hour. And then we were just lucky, one woman made a lift for us to service station on M6 - there were much better!―Anonymous

Prefer this spot to the petrol station and bus stop on Princess Rd where the cars are doing 50 or 60 mph and would have an accident if they stopped―Colinc
