Needed to change to an earlier train because of an emergency and the lovely staff member (Michelle B I think?) helped us with absolutely no fuss and was really lovely. The staff in their ticket office put up with a lot and she still had time to help us. Thank you.

This station is well organised, modern, clean, and runs well. There are good facilities and helpful staff.

My favourite thing about the station is how many dogs I see coming through with their humans. As well as the wonders of hearing folks playing the pianos. (You know the place is good when there's things like this).

Visitors to the NW - Beware of Northern trains running out of Piccadilly. As a local I can tell you they are NOT reliable.

It's a busy big yet well organised train station. There are rest areas outside and inside the station and screens that indicate the status of the trains.
Good size station with many facilities, shops, restaurants and cafes. Not that busy.
I arrived at Manchester Piccadilly station and was impressed by its modern facilities and efficient layout. The staff (at information desk and near the gate) were helpful, and the bustling atmosphere gave me a sense of excitement for my visit to the city.

Very lovely train station! Large variety of trains from a trainspotter point of view and there is frequent services to a variety of stations. A large variety of operators call here including Transpennine express, Transport for wales, Avanti west coast, Northern, East Midlands Railway and Cross Country. There are no ticket barriers present but revenue protection are on hand.

There is also a variety of places to grab a bite to eat and shops within the station.

The station also functions as a primary location for the British Transport Police so a variety of cars and vans can be seen here - perfect for Emergancy Vehicle Enthusiasts.

There are also frequent tram links to a variety of places around Manchester which is amazing!
I love railway station. I love the buzz and the hype. People going, people coming. I could sit and watch them all day long, but now it's time for me to board.
