feralmoggy Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Okay, while people are speaking here of trams already, I might as well jump in. Foxy and I are coming in by plane. I know there's a train service between the airport and Piccadilly Station. Now my first question is can I pre-book the train tickets? Second question: the tram station most close to our hotel is St. Peter's Square. Which tram line goes from Piccadilly to this station? Unfortunately the Manchester transportation web page so doesn't like me, I can't open it. 899143[/snapback] You could prebook a train ticket but would seem somewhat pointless bearing in mind that they run every 10 mins and the tickets will be less than £10 return. Ticket machines should take both coins and notes. As for trams you'll need to take the tram for either Altrincham or Eccles as St Peters Square is only one stop from the G-Mex stop. Hope thats of some help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen_Sindel Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I don't have phone numbers, but maybe that website is of some help http://www.manchester2002-uk.com/transport/taxis.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manchester has a plethora of black cabs so should be able to hail one quite easily if required. Its about a 10 min walk from the coach station to G-Mex. I hope thats of some help.
