Travelling between Manchester stations
TransPennine Express operates a regular service which connects Manchester Piccadilly, Manchester Oxford Road and Manchester Victoria in both directions but this may not always be available due to service disruption or planned engineering work which is essential to maintaining the railway.
Please allow plenty of time to travel and make connections onto train services at other stations.
If a direct train service isn’t available, there are other options you can choose to travel between the major stations in Manchester city centre:
Free bus - more information here
These bus services are free of charge and no ticket is required.
