Hi ,

I'll be travelling along the M6 next week and am meeting someone at these services. I'm going westbound and she'll be going eastbound. Does anyone know how easy / difficult it will be for me to come off the motorway at some point to meet her on the eastbound side of the services?

Bearing in mind i'm not really used to driving on the motorway so the more simple the directions the better! ;) 

Thank you!

Apparently there's a footbridge linking the twio halves of the service station, so you should be able to meet up easily.

if you need to meet with the car on the same side the easiest way would probably to drive up the motorway to the exit after the services and then rejoin the motorway in the opposite direction. Then drive down to the services again you will then be on the right side.

Thank you both - hadn't noticed the footbridge. May have to do the second option as i'm meeting there to collect a foster dog - so don't really want too much distance between the two cars if I can help it.

That might be the best idea because often dogs aren't allowed within the service station buildings, so you wouldn't be able to access the footbridge.

If you are travelling north up the M6 in the direction of B'ham, come off at the services and follow the signs for petrol.  Just before you hit the petrol forecourt on your left hand side you will see a gate way that used to be security code controlled with rising bollards (it isn't any longer but some of the signage remains)......go through that.  Corley dog training club is on your left and at the end of the road turn right;  this takes you back over the motorway.  In about 300 yards you will see another gateway (similar to the one you went through earlier) on your right hand side.....go through there and straight on....that takes you into the carpark of the southbound services.
