Small layby thing just before the roundabout to exit Heathrow. Waited for 45 minutes with a sign saying M4, only taxis and rich twats in SUVs who can afford airport parking, passing without a glance. Then a nice bloke who'd just dropped off some family stopped and took me to reading services. No trouble with airport security.―Wienerpolser

Heading to Europe. Had a sign saying M25 S. Waited 50 minutes then got a lift to Cobham services. (Think most traffic here is heading straight into London)―Wienerpolser

I agree coming off the M3 towards is a bad idea here, although there is a train station with no barriers and is hardly ever checked. good advice if stuck is heading to sunningdale and hopping the train at a late peak time. if towards reading there are no barriers at Early station, if towards london there are barriers at Clapham junction but at peak times these are almost always open.―Anonymous
