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

I waited at the entrance of the gas station shell and waited less than 3 minutes to get a ride ! There is a lot of traffic, especially to Manchester (whre i was going to) and people go to get some gas before driving. A very good place !―MaëlBZH

If you're turning towards Birmingham/M6, this is a good place to stop before the big road junction.Just ask from lorries/people stopping for gas/food.

I've used this spot twice, both on a Saturday morning. You can very easily catch a ride to Burtonwood services from here, or all the way to Liverpool or Manchester. Recommend a sign saying M62, and either Liverpool or Manchester, but if you're going to Manchester and get offered a right to Burtonwood services take it, you can get to Manchester quite easily from there.―Joebloggs

Read about this place on hitch wiki. After 60 minutes got picked up... by police. Fortunately they where nice, but this spot not only is shit, but illegal.―PPptas

August 2025, gave up after an hour and got a train. It's a bus stop and 3 lanes of traffic, a lot of people waving at me but no one stopped. Maybe just got unlucky―Anonymous
