MediaCityUK is close to one of the most comprehensive transport infrastructures in the country, so getting here won’t be a problem. People travelling to MediaCityUK will be encouraged to use public transport wherever possible. A new waterside tram terminus will combine with the existing tram stop at Broadway to provide a service in both directions (Eccles and city centre bound) every six minutes. The two mile journey into central Manchester city centre takes around 15 minutes by tram, providing a seamless connection with the national rail network at Piccadilly station. Three trains an hour run from Piccadilly to London Euston, completing the journey in just over two hours.
We're installing around 300 cycle bays across the MediaCityUK site. Click here for information and advice on cycling in Greater Manchester, including online maps and guides.
For those who need to travel by car, a new link road with the M602 motorway will give drivers the option to approach MediaCityUK from either end of Broadway. The M602 provides onward linkages to major routes leading in all directions.
Manchester Airport, a 20-minute drive from MediaCityUK, offers a choice of more than 200 destinations worldwide. Additional overseas connections are available at nearby Liverpool John Lennon Airport.
