Waited for around an hour before getting a lift to Leeds on the M1 North. Slow cars, decent amount of traffic and space to stop.―Anonymous

Also note that if you walk through a field at the coach park end of the services you will reach a bus stop on the regular 24hr Skylink route linking Derby and Leicester with East Midlands airport, it is about £4 for a single ticket to either destination (2013)―Willochrome

Got stuck here for almost 6 hours (from 6pm, heading South to Birmingham) and no luck so night at the services was "fun." Traveling North might be a completely different story though.―Anonymous

[M1 SOUTH]I spent much time surveying the area around the services and there are not that many safe places to stop; The best place to hitch from seemed to be holding a sign out by the entrance to the services building and striking up conversations with people passing in and out. After about half an hour I found a hitch to Northampton Services, well on the way to London.

Cars on the road were going too fast to stop. Had to go around petrol station asking people for 20 minutes until someone was able to take me―ExtreamTrowser
