Good spot, if you don't want to ask around. The traffic is bottlenecked here because the other routes from the roundabout are still under construction. Just be aware that there are a bunch of fuckers working on the nearby construction, so if a van filled with a bunch of laughing guys in high viz stops, don't get in. They will not bring you to York, but to a nearby construction site, and you will have to walk back here.―martih

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.―martih

easy to get a lift to a service station on the A1 or M1, used it a couple times now, and the workers don't kick you out―Anonymous

Everyone I spoke to was going North so it was really tricky. I waited by the exit but it wasn’t busy enough for the cars to be stopped so no one pulled over. Tried the same at the exit of the car park with no luck. I approached people at the benches by the food hall and most were going North, or there was one just not interested in giving a lift! Of those who were going North they were very lovely and wished me the best of luck getting to my destination and said they would have been happy to help if I was going the opposite way. My final destination was Peterborough. Finally I met a lovely woman and her two children who offered me a lift to Sheffield and I ended my hitching from there and got a train. Not sure what I could have done differently here. It seemed like an unlucky day.―Anonymous

(28F) Super easy. Waited by the station exit and spoke to people as they stopped to exit. Ended up getting a lift with a delivery driver that does long distance deliveries.―Anonymous

Lots of coachs so hard to pick out drivers. Lots of people going south. But still good if going towards north―natecr

Either this is an excellent spot, it I just had excellent luck. But I waited five minutes, and the second car already stopped, and I got a ride all the way to Leeds. I had a sign saying "A1 - North".―mossenmoons

Got a lift here direct to Heathrow (London) in 5 minutes by a woman who wouldn't normally pick up hitch hikers. If there are lots of cars then there is a traffic jam and lots of time for people to think about taking you.―Anonymous
