Piccadilly Station

The shelter gives you more than enough protection from the weather, but Paton street is only a few steps down the road and is a much superior stop. Beside it, this one lacks any panache, so what would normally be a perfectly adequate stop comes across as subpar.

It’s easy to get to all the things you need for travelling around Manchester city.

The drivers are always friendly. Tell them where you’re heading and they’ll let you know when your stop is coming up.

It stays put, but once you get going, it moves fast. There’s free water now, though the toilets are still expensive.
