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

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

Either this is an excellent spot, it I just had excellent luck. But I waited five minutes, and the second car already stopped, and I got a ride all the way to Leeds. I had a sign saying "A1 - North".―mossenmoons

Took us a long, long time to get to Edinburgh from here, but a lot of people seem to be going to Manchester. Another upside is that you can cross the motorway from here. Also, you can easily camp just behind the bushed on the west side.―Anonymous

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
