Really good spot, lots of charging ports for teslas - traffic go all ways but there’s lots of it. Met the only other hitchhiker I’ve ever seen in the uk here so it’s got an automatic 5/5

Second time here. People just as nice. Cardboard still round back

This is a massive rest stop. I can highly recommend it. But when walking around the trucks, I had no luck (it took me about 45 minutes). After that, I moved to the exit with just thumbing with a sign, and it was pretty fast all the way to Leeds.

Awesome spot for hitching. Large gas station. And there is an awesome view of the lake if you have a time to chill out I highly recommend to check it out.

I was very lucky, I ask to the first person at the gas station and he was going north to dundee (Scotland M6)
I don’t know if it the best but it work for me. I went by bus here.

Shower, divable dumpster and a good camp spot. What more could you want. Also a quick lift

J20a, people will not stop for you despite very substantial on ramp. In fact, you'll get abuse and stuff chucked at you. People from Warrington are lovely.

Asking around at this truck station is your best bet instead of the ramps. Trucks tend to be heading South especially in the evening but there are literally a hundred rigs there later in the day, and although most are laid up you will probably be able to get a night journey. There is a Cafe (expensive) where you can chat to drivers or just walk around with a sign, which works for me. Had one of the best rides ever in the UK from here.

Good spot from Liverpool to Wales. Take a train or bus to Hooton, and walk 15-20 minutes. Do not waste your time at the petrol station or the church - walk PAST those places - this junction is more visible and has more space for drivers to stop. After 5-10 minutes, I got a ride to Anglesey.

may aswell call it Lymm-bo. Stuck here for hours til I decided just to go St Helens and get the train. Worst place I've hitched (or tried to)

Nasty, nasty place. Had people drive around the roundabout specifically to come back and give me the finger for a second time.

I got a ride to here from Heston Services. 2 minutes after getting out, at 3am on a December morning, I got a ride up to Glasgow. Try standing just before where the lorries exit, it is safe and easy for them to stop here.

Not good for the M6 North. Most people travel along the M56. I wait at the service station exit.
Good 24 hour services - they didn't mind me dozing in the cafe.
A sign is recommended.
