Airport is knackered but usually runs efficiently and can be very crowded. The railway station staff and miserable and useless at the concourse gates, they should take a leaf out of Europe's books. The ticket office is more helpful.
Nice tram stop. You can go to Coronation Street if you want!
The airport is trying hard but why are the moving walk-ways not working? We are in our 70's and although we are not disabled, we did not see anyone who might help us with our luggage over the substantial distance to the railway station. Working walkways would have helped.
I'm frustrated with the audacity, lack of leeway and situational sense from the train guard.
I have an advance ticket from Manchester to Nottingham with changes in between at 9:17.
The 9:17 train was cancelled, so I asked the ticket man in reception what I can do.
He said to board the next train which was 8:48.
So I do this and see the train guard next to the doors. I tell her my situation and she refuses to board me because I have to board the train with the departing time closest to the cancelled train, so 9:07. Unless I buy a new single ticket from her!
That is a difference of 19 minutes! Ridiculous judgement call from her!

I think this tram stop is in a good location 'cause it's just opposite to MediaCityUK and it doesn't take you long to get there from this stop.
Great Stuff, especially the IWM Duxford Airport site, however a good range of things to see and do around here at this site too, and it has its own Tram stop.
Congratulations on their 20th Anniversary!
Some new features added and the big picture show amazes as ever.
Attended an evening event and it was brilliant the whole set up was completely transformed.
By day the museum now has poppies from London and New items are being added to the display cases.
School holidays fast approaching there seems to be plenty going on. It's free entry, carpark is NCP but still worth a visit.
Plenty to see and do. I'd highly recommend a good few hours.
On the hour they have a huge 360 panoramic show, all different. An amazing cafe with some delicious food and a very good gift shop.
Plenty of photographic opportunities and selfies to be had. The Museum has a timeline but you don't have to stick to that. On certain days they have veterans in who give first hand experience of war too.
There really is something for everyone and is a great day out.

Eye-opening artefacts and history well told. There is a family game in there too, great for teamwork.
Nice coffe shop at Manchester airport train station.Its in the waiting room and called " Fresh"
The tram stop is convenient for not only the Imperial War Museum but also for Salford Quays and MediaCity. It loses a star because there are no direct trams into Manchester city centre, the line ends at Cornbrook where you have to change to a different tram to get back into the city.
This station is amazing. I love the location of this station because it is right next to this bronze tower. This place also has great access if you are going to the museum if you want to go to media city tram stop that's like 10 minutes away.
The train station is connected to terminal in a convenient way. Though it's a bit of a walk from the station, the lifts and escalators make life easy. There are barricades on the escalators to avoid passengers taking heavy baggage.
New line, easy access👍🏻
Path which leads from airport to station is beautiful. Station itself is really small and crowded, management can make it more spacious and well maintained. Lot of people start from this point so improvement is needed. However communication for travellers to find respective platform is superb.
Good Metrolink stop that is conveniently located in Manchester Airport's interchange, so you can directly change to National Rail and other buses from here. It's a short walk to the airport terminals and obviously the stop is very useful for accessing the airport and as a means of travelling into Manchester City Centre and beyond. The stop is well lit and maintained and the waiting areas are clean and bright. Services to Victoria are frequent at every 12 minutes and an 'early bird' service runs in the early hours for Manchester Airport workers or users of the airport.
I love travelling so now often get recognised by the security staff, which makes me feel valued considering the millions of passengers who whizz through there every year! I often like to photograph the light patterns in the tunnel like passageway that leads from the train station to two of the terminals so it has a visual appeal too.
