Good spot, if you don't want to ask around. The traffic is bottlenecked here because the other routes from the roundabout are still under construction. Just be aware that there are a bunch of fuckers working on the nearby construction, so if a van filled with a bunch of laughing guys in high viz stops, don't get in. They will not bring you to York, but to a nearby construction site, and you will have to walk back here.―martih

This is a massive rest stop. I can highly recommend it. But when walking around the trucks, I had no luck (it took me about 45 minutes). After that, I moved to the exit with just thumbing with a sign, and it was pretty fast all the way to Leeds.―martih

Lots of coachs so hard to pick out drivers. Lots of people going south. But still good if going towards north―natecr

Must get the spot right, best bet is to stand at the exit of the public car park. Ask around truckies if you dont get lucky―Anonymous

Do not accept to be dropped here, it's illegal to hitchhike on the motorway. We got a ride with kind police officers―Anonymous

English people seem to be really afraid of hitchhikers, however it's a good spot to go and speak with drivers. Got a lift after 2h11min―Anonymous

Recently renovated service station. Great for getting out of Sheffield. We asked around for a lift for only a few minutes before getting an empty coach to Leeds!―saundy

Asked around for a lift going North. Not long before someone could take us to Weatherby Services.―saundy

The spot outside the petrol station is excellent, as cars are slow, abundant, and there is ample room to pull over.The service station offers refreshments and toilets.
