Old Trafford Cricket Ground- Manchester
Lancashire County Cricket Club, Old Trafford, Manchester, M16 0PX, GB
Travelling by Tram
There are tramworks between Victoria Station and St Peter's Square. Despite this, we think that getting the tram will be the easiest way of getting there, as the
cricket ground is right next door to the tram stop.
For trams to Old
Trafford you will have to get on at St Peter's Square or G Mex, which ever is
nearest your hotel. If you're staying in the Oxford Road/Piccadilly area, you
will find St Peter's Square will be closer, if staying in Castlefield/Deansgate
you will find GMex your closest stop. If you're unsure, ask at your hotel reception. If getting allow about 10 -
15 minutes extra time.
You will need to get on an Altrincham line tram and get
off at Old Trafford. The fare is £2.40 from both St Peter's Square and G Mex. We would recommend having the exact change for this as the machines often don't
give out change. They won't let you on the tram without a ticket so make sure
you get a ticket before getting on. The machines do not accept credit cards so
you will need the cash.
When getting off the tram, go down the stairs and
you will see a sign telling you where to go to get to the cricket and football
grounds. To get home by tram - the trams do usually run untitil around
midnight (ish) so there should be trams running after the concert, although there will be a considerable wait
By Bus
The 17 and 115 from Piccadilly Gardens and you can get
off at Talbot Road. The gmpte website will have more info. We wouldn't recommend
travelling by bus though as it will take longer due to traffic and all the extra
stops it makes, even with the extra wait at the tram stop. Manchester does have a good night bus service so
assume the 17 and/or 115 will have a night bus service.
By taxi
If there are four or five of you it may be cheaper to get
a taxi than getting the tram. Of course, it may take longer because of traffic
but I would say from the city, if traffic isn't too bad, budget for about £15
ish (We've been told that's the average fare from the football ground, which
isn't far from the cricket ground). You can flag down black cabs with
their yellow lights on in the city, or alternatively go to a taxi rank and get
one there: Piccadilly train station; Albert Square; a small one near the Pret on Cross
Street; High Street (near the Primark). Or of course you can ask your hotel to
call one to pick you up from there. Getting home by taxi - You
would be able to flag one down somewhere but guess it is going to be very busy.
At that time of night you would be looking at paying £20 at the least to get
home, especially with traffic.
