an estimated 13 million additional journeys will be made on the Metrolink each year, and Central Park will be just two stops – or five minutes – from Manchester city centre. This unique offer is supplemented by a quality bus corridor, which runs along Oldham Road and through Central Park, with buses running to and from the city centre every 10 minutes.

By train, Manchester is linked to all major UK cities, with a West Coast Main Line service every 30 minutes to London, journey time 2hrs 8 mins. And by air, Manchester Airport places the world in convenient reach, with cities such as Brussels, Frankfurt and New York among its destinations.
