Busy petrol station is the cheapest on the way out of Edinburgh. We had signs and walked around asking people while they were refueling their cars. First offer to Scotch Corner then onwards to near Leicester the next day after we stayed over.―Anonymous

The only spot here with actual space for stopping. It's in the town but most of cars are probably heading towards Edinburgh anyway so no problem―Autostopeks

Very little traffic on here I probably saw maybe 10 or 15 cars the whole time I was here, though I was here 11am on a workday. Got picked up by a German couple who took me all the way to Edinburgh!―Calebblor

I didn't even put my thumb up that one driver asked me if I needed a ride. He saw me writing down something on a sign "To South" while he was on the traffic jam and he came directly to me.He was drinking beer while driving but he was fun.
Even called his friend to find me a ride to the south of UK (Unsuccessful).
PS : The gas station in Greta Green is really good (especially with these showers).

Decently busy road. Cars can pull into the entrance into the inn. You could also get cars coming out of the carpark. Got us right into city centre―Freddie35

Not the best spot but there is a place to stop and if you are really struglling its a bus stop (there is no signs but it is) so you can catch a bus. Carw going pretty fast and a bit uphill so probably not the most keen to catch. I was during ofseason so not that much traffic but eventually somebody should stop but this is not that rural road that everyone would pick you up―kiausiniuvagis

Many people offered a ride south, but no one was going north. Eventually I got a pity-ride to another service station (by a very nice person).―Mossenmoons
