'''Liverpool''' is a city in the [[UK]], on the Mersey estuary west of [[Manchester]].
==Hitching OutHitchhiking out ==
===West towards [[Wales]]===
Almost all Liverpool traffic going to Wales will use the A550 (Welsh Road), not the M53. The best place to stand is at the beginning of the A550. To get there, take a bus down the A41, or take a train to Hooton station, then follow the signs saying 'North Wales' (the A550 is about 20 minutes walk from the station). There is a petrol station, but don't bother trying it as no traffic going towards Wales seems to use it. Hitch on the A550 itself - it is a good road, but is very narrow. There is an OK spot next to the church behind the petrol station, or you can walk for five minutes to a road junction where you have more space and better visibility.
One group of hitchers got a ride in 15 minutes, and another lone hitcher got a ride in 30 minutes.
Hitching the M53 from the city centre is a complete headache & not recommended.
===East on the M62 to [[Manchester]], [[Leeds]] & the M6 North & South to [[Birmingham]]===
Take a train or a bus to the station called "Broadgreen". More close to the big road junction, before the motorway starts, there's a bus stop "{{Maps place|5378|Broadgreen, The Rocket PH (opp)}}".
If you want to turn to the M6, it might be a good idea to jump out at the {{Maps place|7020|Burtonwood Services}} and ask for rides.
