Clayton Vale Loop
The Route
I haven't yet documented this route. I found it whilst exploring the Etihad Campus and Phillips Park. Whilst anyone can walk it, I haven't got directions or photos for you yet.
Getting to the start
Train
Served by two main stations, Victoria and Piccadilly, the city centre has regular service from all over the country.. The rail network is surprisingly well spread, being a legacy from the Industrial Revolution, where the outer mill towns needed regular service.
Metrolink
The Metrolink network serves much of Greater Manchester. Its best feature is its regularity. With one every 12 minutes on every line, you don't even really need to plan, just turn up and one will be there shortly.
Bus
The Greater Manchester Bee Network means all buses into the centre are £2 for a single, and £5 for a day rover, which gets you on any bus all day. The network serves most of Manchester, and is regular during peak times. Just heck ahead on a weekend as services are less common, but normally at least hourly.
Car
Driving to Manchester is easy. There is paid parking all around the centre. Just follow the signs to Manchester.
