Piccadilly Metrolink

This was our first visit on the metro link even tho we come to manchester a lot.
The station at piccadilly was good because it was undercover, being inside the main station it’s self.
When we went down to the platform we thought it would be like the London underground were it’s difficult to get on the correct service, I’ve ended up getting on wrong trains in London loads of times.
But it wasn’t an hassle at all here, we got the right tram easily and we only waited 3 mins.
So for making our first ever trip on the metro link hassle free 4 stars! :-)

This Metro Link is located inside Piccadily Station and sets the bar high for other metro link stations. This is my first time using the metro link and it seemed great.
With it being located inside the train station, they is multiple shops just a floor up in the main station like WHsmith, Starbucks and even CEX, Caffe Nero and Little Waitrose are close by.
They is wheelchair access with lifts connecting you to the Metro Link level and 2 platforms.
They is multiple toilets and Cash machines just the floor above in the mainline station, so really you have everything you want in such a small space.
The only line it is on is the pink line, with trains going to Ashton Under Lyne and Eccles via Media City UK, going to stops like Etihad Campus, home to the English Champions Manchester City and New Islington.
The Piccadily Metro link is not the best for trains as the likes of Pretswich are on two lines and they is multiple other stations on 2 and 3 lines however this is a great starting point for traveling across Manchester, just a short ride (1 stop) away from Piccadily Gardens which is on the pink, brown and yellow lines.
I would say this is one of the better Metro Link stations (I have seen others before) due to it’s great location having so many shops and facilities right above it in Piccadily Station and it being a connection point to near enough anywhere. That is why I feel 4 stars is fair for this metro link station, If all other metro link stations are even half as good as this, I think I may have found my new favourite method of public transportation.
