Stag Weekends Manchester Travel

Whichever way you are travelling, the city is perfectly placed to host those Manchester stag weekends.

By car

The outer ring road of the Manchester conurbation is the M60. It is accessible from Leeds or Liverpool by the M62 and from Scotland and the South by the M6. From the North and Scotland follow the M6 and then the M61. From the South take the M6 and the M56.

The most direct route from the M6 to the M56 and South Manchester is to take the A556 leaving the M6 at junction 19, but note this has a 50mph speed limit for most of its length and can be somewhat congested at busy times of the day. It is signed posted Manchester and Manchester Airport.

Another route would be to carry on northbound up the M6, taking you directly to the M6/M62 interchange. Here you would follow signs for Leeds and Manchester North. This can, however, seem a longer way round, but it does also give you access, via the M60 orbital road, to places around the conurbation and is a much better option if you wish to access the northern part of Greater Manchester.

By train

Manchester city centre is served by two major railway stations, Victoria in the north and in the south Piccadilly, voted one of UK's most popular stations in 2007. These stations are well connected with the rest of the UK, although it is more likely that you will arrive at Piccadilly as it deals with the most services in and out of Manchester.

Other stations in the city centre are Deansgate/G-Mex, Oxford Road, and Salford Central, but generally only local services will stop at these stations.
Connections from London Euston to Piccadilly are run by Virgin Trains. The journey on the West Coast Mainline Pendolino trains, that don’t need to slow down when going round bends, takes about 2hrs 15minutes.

By plane

Manchester International Airport in the South of the city is the largest airport in the UK outside of London and is in the largest 50 airports in the world. Nearly 100 operators fly to and from hundreds of locations worldwide, including most major cities in Europe, along with services from North America, South America, Africa, and Asia.

The airport also offers flights to many European cities with Easyjet, Jet2.com and Ryanair.
Direct trains run from the airport station (reached by Skyway, between terminals 1 and 2) to Piccadilly and Oxford Road stations about every 20 minutes. You can also catch a coach/bus to Manchester Central Coach station.

John Lennon Airport, in Liverpool is served by budget carriers Easyjet and Ryanair and is also relatively conveniently located for access to Manchester. A coach service runs connecting the airport to Manchester's central coach station and takes about 45 minutes. Some airlines will provide this service for free. There is now a direct train link between Liverpool Parkway (i.e. the station at John Lennon Airport) and Manchester Oxford Road Train Station (in the city centre).
