Getting there
Planes, trains, automobiles, or maybe even helicopter – we tell you the best way to go.
- Planes
- Manchester Airport (+44 (0)161 489 3000) is a 15–20-minute train trip from Piccadilly station; a cab from the city centre should cost £20.
- Trains
- Trains to and from London Euston run as frequently as every half hour, with the journey on the Virgin Pendolinos taking just two hours and 20 minutes.
- Automobiles
- The M56 leads to the joys of the M6, and London in about four hours, if you’re lucky with the traffic around Birmingham. Be warned when parking in town: wardens hover like vultures.
