Free city centre tram travel If you've arrived in the city centre by train from any station in Greater Manchester, you could be entitled to free Metrolink tram travel within the network's ‘Zone 1’ (formerly known as the 'City Zone') (see map here). If your train ticket lists your destination as 'Manchester CTLZ' then you can travel within the 'City Zone' for free throughout the period of your ticket's validity (the same day if it's for a single journey). Tickets that list their destination as 'Manchester STNS' are not valid and you will need to purchase a separate Metrolink ticket to use the system. More information may be found on the Transport for Greater Manchester website.

Manchester city centre is served by two major railway stations, 1 Piccadilly in the south and 2 Victoria in the north.

Piccadilly is the main destination for trains from around the UK e.g. London, Birmingham, Leeds etc. Victoria has trains from Bradford and local services from elsewhere in North West England.

Trains from Liverpool, Leeds, York, Sheffield and Nottingham may also stop at 3 Manchester Oxford Road which is convenient for the University.

Other stations in the city centre are 4 Deansgate and 5 Salford Central, but generally only local services stop at these stations.

Virgin Trains operates service between Manchester Piccadilly and London Euston. This journey, on the West Coast Mainline, takes just over 2 hours in Pendolino trains that do not need to slow down when going around bends. Prices are as low as £11 each way if booked online in advance.
