About Manchester Train Station

Opened in 1842 as Store Street, the station was rebuilt in 1866 and expanded in 1960.

A £100m 2002 upgrade created Manchester's premier transport hub.

Piccadilly played vital WWII roles for industrial traffic.

The station's history reflects Manchester's industrial rise and regeneration.

Now handling over 30 million passengers annually, it combines Victorian infrastructure with modern facilities.

Recent improvements have reinforced Piccadilly's role as the North's key rail interchange, preserving architectural heritage while meeting 21st century demands in one of Britain's most important cities outside London.
