Manchester Piccadilly is connected to most of the UK. Other options are Stockport or Manchester Victoria

Bus

​

Bus is the easiest, cheapest and quickest way to move from the City Centre or Train station to the Armitage Campus

 

Oxford Road is one long straight road from the City Centre directly to the campus. It will cost around £2 and take 15-20 minutes, although that depends on traffic as Oxford Road is apparently the busiest bus route in Europe.
