Getting from Piccadilly to Eastlands

[James23]

How easy is it to get from Piccadilly Station to the ground? I'm going on the train on my own later this month, I usually go with my Dad by car but he can't make it so it's just me this time. Is it easily directed? I imagine I will be able to follow a load of City fans there anyway but, as I said, never been by train so just a bit worried I might get lost...

216 bus is a couple of quid, get on opposite Spoons or £6ish in a taxi!!

I'm an American who had never been to Manchester before until last summer, and I took the train from Oxford to Piccadilly by myself. I had called the club ahead of time for directions and they recommended either taking the bus or walking. I opted for walking because I'm cheap, and I had absolutely zero problems locating the stadium. Just follow the SportCity stickers that you'll find on signs and poles. You should be fine. If you're coming from the south you can even see the stadium off to your right as the train approaches the station.

Watch out for anyone offering sweeties or to show you puppies

You can get the train to Ashburys.

You can walk: Travis Street > Great Ancoats (quick turn onto) Pollard Street, and when you're there the crowds should start gathering and you should be able to see the ground.
