easy to get a lift to a service station on the A1 or M1, used it a couple times now, and the workers don't kick you out―Anonymous

Everyone I spoke to was going North so it was really tricky. I waited by the exit but it wasn’t busy enough for the cars to be stopped so no one pulled over. Tried the same at the exit of the car park with no luck. I approached people at the benches by the food hall and most were going North, or there was one just not interested in giving a lift! Of those who were going North they were very lovely and wished me the best of luck getting to my destination and said they would have been happy to help if I was going the opposite way. My final destination was Peterborough. Finally I met a lovely woman and her two children who offered me a lift to Sheffield and I ended my hitching from there and got a train. Not sure what I could have done differently here. It seemed like an unlucky day.―Anonymous

(28F) Super easy. Waited by the station exit and spoke to people as they stopped to exit. Ended up getting a lift with a delivery driver that does long distance deliveries.―Anonymous

Got a lift here direct to Heathrow (London) in 5 minutes by a woman who wouldn't normally pick up hitch hikers. If there are lots of cars then there is a traffic jam and lots of time for people to think about taking you.―Anonymous

Not a very easy place to get a lift at all. Two of us waited 2 hours, gave up and tried the side road... eventually opted for a taxi to Wetherby Services, which is the only time i've ever got a taxi while hitching!―Anonymous

beware of taking this road at night, the traffic is extremely sparse and while I got picked up in not too long I ended up stuck for 3 hours in the middle of the night halfway to yorkinstead to get into york get someone going north to drop you off at junction 47 then go from there

I stood with a sign to “Newcastle” I found that there was little traffic north compared to south so wetherby services may be better for travelling south. I did nonetheless get a ride eventually.―Blondesslo
