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

Lots of cars stopped but most were going to Birmingham or up the M6. I was hoping to get onto the M1 but gave up and went up the M6―Anonymous

Layby in easy walking distance from central Manchester. Good for hitching south. Traffic fast but a good place for it to stop.―Anonymous

Slip road going onto motorway from Birch services. Go East on M62 from here or West from other side. To get here take bus 167 from Manchester Centre, get off by The White Heart pub and walk down Whittle Lane to get to service station - 10 mins.―Anonymous

Depends where you're trying to get toAvoid if you're trying to get North of Manchester! - go back to Sandbach and then up.
Ok for getting lifts into Manchester, sometimes liverpool or toward Leeds.

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.―Anonymous

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.―Anonymous

I use this for M6 Southbound, there's a petrol station and a Macdonald. At the exit from the petrol station people from the road and the petrol station can see you. There's a bus stop to pull in at just after as well. Also there's a pedestrian crossing where traffic stops so they can get a good look at you and (hopefully) see that you look nice!―Anonymous

Good spot for getting a ride south. If you've come from Manchester but your ride only goes to somewhere in Cheshire, then ask them to leave you here.―Anonymous

I actually disagree - I got a lift to Perth, Scotland, within seconds (!)―Anonymous

Not always good for Manchester here - we tried once with sign 'MANCHESTER' for 2 hours without success. Walking to J19 and hitching from there got much better results.―Tmoon
