Hitching South would have been faster. Hitched with sign at the exit of petrol station. Asking would have been faster but I'm awkward―Ryancomet

One time I waited here 15 minutes for a ride, another time I waited 6 hours, on average its 2-3 hours. Really hit and miss at this place. Get there as early as possible if you can and hope to get a ride quickly.―Haggismn

Took me a long time to get a lift! Three hours waiting from 1700 on a Monday... Eventually got a lift heading South by talking at the gas pumps. Still probably the best option for getting out of Glasgow.―Bbew

The highway was under conctruction at that time so not many cars stopped there. I got the ride from the lorry driver in the end.―Urbanekto

The only services where I have ever had problem with the staff. They had a problem with me walking where cars could pass (although every driver who comes to pay does the same). After some negotiation we agreed I could ask drivers, as long as I stayed on the pedestrian lane in front of the shop. This can depend on what staff member is working at the time of course. It is the only services between Edinburgh and Glasgow, but within 20 minutes after being dropped off, I got a ride to a services close to Prestwick.―Anonymous

Not the best spot. Cars going fast. But the gas station seemed to have a lot of traffic as the road so you can always ask there.―kiausiniuvagis
