Direction: M5 south (Bristol). Here you get both trafic from the gas station and the road. Plenty of space to stop. A gold spot.―Anonymous

Cars can stop, going out to M5 to South and M6 to North, but in 2010 march we were standing here for 3 hours in the rain without luck.―Anonymous

They'll kick you out of the petrol station, but the restaurant place is all right.―Anonymous

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

Frankley Service Station.You can get there by taking Bus #22 getting off at final destination. Then you have to walk the road further on, to the motorway. There is a bridge so you have access to both southern and northern directions.
EDIT:
From this spot I already hitched to Scotland, Cornwall and Wales. You can even get to the Northeast from here by following the M6 to Manchester and then turning eastwards.

It's ok. Guy who was leaving gas station picked me up to Bromsgrove. I waited something about 20 minutes at the early evening.―Ppaatt1

Frankley Southbound can be quite bad , often up to 2 hours , and there is often only 30 cars an hour ... No car driver would stop here as it is a sh*** hole―Colinc
