City of Manchester
Stadium
By Train
The closest train
station is Ashburys which is a short five minute train ride away from
Manchester Piccadilly Station. The stadium is about a 15 minute walk away
from Ashburys station. As you come out of the station turn left and after
proceeding up the road you will come to the stadium on your left.
Otherwise if you have time on your hands then you can embark on the 20/25
minute walk from Piccadilly Station to the stadium. At the bottom of the main station
approach turn right into Ducie Street. At the end of the road turn right
onto Great Ancoats Street. Cross over the road, then the canal and
turn left into Pollard Street - this is well marked as a walking route to
"Sportcity". Continue straight along Pollard Street which leads
onto the A662 Ashton New Road and you will come to the stadium on your
left.
A shorter route from the
station is to use the new exit to Fairfield Street (the taxi rank). As you
come off the platforms, it’s in the left hand corner of the main concourse.
Lifts or escalators down. (There’s also an exit from the little concourse
off the bridge near platforms 13/14.) At the street exit head toward the
railway over bridge,
under that, then left again under the railway (Travis Street continuing into
Adair Street), left at the end and right into Pollard Street (then as
above).
Alternatively you can get a taxi from Piccadilly Station (around £4.50) or a
bus from Piccadilly Gardens - Go down the main approach from the station,
then along London Road to Piccadilly Gardens; normal service and special
matchday buses leave from the right hand side of the square (between Lever
Street and Oldham Street) - £1 each way. 216 and 217 the main service buses,
but 185, 186, 230, 231, 232, 233, 234, 235, 236, 237, X36 and X37 also go
from the city centre to the stadium (and 53 and 54 from the city's ring
road). On the return, the special buses leave from Ashton New Road just
across from the away end.
Thanks to Steve Parish for providing the above directions
and bus information.
