Great spot. Got ride to Penrith on my way to Scotland. Was on a place closer to the exit than on the map.―Larixium

If coming from the Isle of Man, arrange a ride on the ferry! Many cars going in many directions.http://hitchwiki.org/en/Heysham

Good spot for going to Liverpool or Manchester (except when there's a football crowd), but you'll be hard pressed finding anything going further south.―Anonymous

Got dropped off here begin of April. Got a ride at 6pm within 5min with my sign saying "M6 North". Waited after the petrol station. But you can even ask people at parking area.―LaZubi

Going southbound.Traffic is slow but single lane only. No place for cars to stop.
Better for local routes e.g. Preston

I was quite lucky to find a ride which took me all the was to Lancaster. However it's a good spot with lots of space for cars to see you and then stop. Not very busy though. I was there on a Monday morning at about 10:30―Elv

Great spot to go north, slip road out on to the M6 where cars have go slow and have plenty of time to see you and stop (legally I believe). Also, a bunch of truckers going long distances, into Scotland. Top spot―Oscarw

Great spot, got a lift almost immediately (although that’s luck too). Can’t imagine waiting here for over half an hour as all cars are going north and there’s a steady stream of them. Plenty of service stations that are easy to hitch out of on the way―Oscarw

southbound is at least half as busy as the northbound side. gave up waiting at the exit cause sun was in the driver's eyes, so waited outside the door to services. probably not the best idea having a sign to Birmingham cause most were going liverpool & manny but finally got a lift to the services by Wolverhampton (a mistake).―raff8ty

good and busy going northwards. on Bummit to Edinburgh 2026, some railway contractors took all 3 of us to tebay. p.s. saw 2 Manx number plates, so maybe a good place if you wanna go there....―raff8ty
