I waited at the entrance of the gas station shell and waited less than 3 minutes to get a ride ! There is a lot of traffic, especially to Manchester (whre i was going to) and people go to get some gas before driving. A very good place !―MaëlBZH

If you're turning towards Birmingham/M6, this is a good place to stop before the big road junction.Just ask from lorries/people stopping for gas/food.

It's a good spot for both directions. There's just one-way road from petrol station, bus wide, so for a small stop perfect. Cars are driving slowly and it's kinda safe spot.―Anonymous

I waited somewhere on this road to go South to Bristol and it works well. There is a lot of trafic and it's the best place to go to Manchester or South !―Anonymous

I've used this spot twice, both on a Saturday morning. You can very easily catch a ride to Burtonwood services from here, or all the way to Liverpool or Manchester. Recommend a sign saying M62, and either Liverpool or Manchester, but if you're going to Manchester and get offered a right to Burtonwood services take it, you can get to Manchester quite easily from there.―Joebloggs

Cars are not going too fast.Good to have a sign with the name of the motorway.
Almost no space to stop but there was not a lot traffic so cars could stop quickly on the road.

Read about this place on hitch wiki. After 60 minutes got picked up... by police. Fortunately they where nice, but this spot not only is shit, but illegal.―PPptas

A really good spot with most of the people going to either Manchester or Liverpool, we prolly just weren't that lucky :D―Anonymous

August 2025, gave up after an hour and got a train. It's a bus stop and 3 lanes of traffic, a lot of people waving at me but no one stopped. Maybe just got unlucky―Anonymous
