Seems good. We got picked up in 3 minutes by people going to Derby. Seems like a lot of traffic is heading onto the M1 from here.―Alifeee

Waited for around an hour before getting a lift to Leeds on the M1 North. Slow cars, decent amount of traffic and space to stop.―Anonymous

Also note that if you walk through a field at the coach park end of the services you will reach a bus stop on the regular 24hr Skylink route linking Derby and Leicester with East Midlands airport, it is about £4 for a single ticket to either destination (2013)―Willochrome

Got stuck here for almost 6 hours (from 6pm, heading South to Birmingham) and no luck so night at the services was "fun." Traveling North might be a completely different story though.―Anonymous
