From Piccadilly Train
Station - Manchester
If you are traveling by train you will probably
arrive at Piccadilly. If you arrive at Victoria Train Station just
catch the free minibus service or Metrolink tram to Piccadilly.
- Your main line train ticket may cover
the cost of Metrolink travel within the 'Central Zone'; which includes
Victoria, Piccadilly and Exchange Quay.
The tram service, called 'Metrolink', runs
from Piccadilly to Eccles stopping at Exchange Quay on the way. The
price of a day return ticket is Ј1.90 whilst a single is Ј1.70. You
must purchase your ticket before you get on the tram unless your main
line rail ticket covers Metrolink travel. The service runs very frequently;
during the day there is a tram every 12 minutes.
The Metrolink station immediately before
Exchange Quay is called "Pomona". As you alight at Exchange Quay you
will see the offices to your left.
