Birmingham has two service stations in the city [http://motorwayservicesonline.co.uk/services/frankley/ Frankley] to the west and [http://motorwayservicesonline.co.uk/services/hopwood/ Hopwood Park] to the south. [http://motorwayservicesonline.co.uk/services/hilton/ Hilton Park], [http://motorwayservicesonline.co.uk/services/tamworth/ Tamworth] and [http://motorwayservicesonline.co.uk/services/corley/ Corley] are not too far away.

The Frankley Service station can be accessed easily, by taking the bus #22 (1.70£ from the center), getting off at the final destination (Kitwell). From there, it is only a short walk to the motorway, following the road you came on and turning right. There is a bridge, so you can get a lift to either northern and southern directions. On the service station, you can't ask around the petrol station (because of "health and safety"), so your best bet is asking people as they go into and out of the resting area.
