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

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

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

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.

Loads of Trucks! I was heading to Ireland, I just talked to every truck driver chilling at the parking place. Most of them were going Far south. (London even Dover) Eventually an Irish trucker took me all the way to Dublin, He even payed the boat ticket for me.―Erth Walker

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

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.―Haggismn
