Take a train from Manchester, Bolton to Blackrod. You can see how to walk to here from the train station (10-15 minutes). Easy to catch a ride straight to Glasgow or Edinburgh―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

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

Bolton West service station. I have never used these services to hitch from, but I have stopped there several times as a driver. I would speculate that it's a bad spot for hitching. The service area is very run down and last time I went it was due for major refurbishment. I'm not saying don't use it, but maybe it's best to avoid if you can find another way.―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
