Travelling By Train

  • ... Back to the main Location And Travel page.

    You can visit The Trainline- to find train times, fares and book your ticket.

    Please be aware that in the UK you may find it cheaper to buy two advance single tickets instead of a return, but you are restricted as to what trains you can get with these.

    Manchester has two "main" railway stations,

    Manchester Piccadilly (MAN)- - Served by long distance InterCity trains from all over the country and local services to/from Manchester Airport.

    Note: You can either get the Metrolink (and a short walk) or a train to the venue (and a short walk).

    Manchester Victoria (MCV)- - Mostly served by local and regional services.

    Note: You'll need to get the Metrolink to Piccadilly station if you arrived here.
