travelling from Wolverhampton to
Manchester.
Does anyone know how to get to ITV Studios
Atherton Street
Manchester
M60 9EA
By coach or by train.
I have looked online and even went to my Local
coach station (who said they would only be able to
drop me off at Manchester coach station - how would
I get to m60 9ea from here - would I have to get
train / bus)
Also went to my local train station who said they
don't know how to get there but if I take the
Manchester picadilly it will go to Manchester city
centre, if this is try how would I get to the postcode
from here.
Would prefer if someone could kindly respond with
directions from the coach station as thinking to go
with this option as it is the cheapest. (Or would it
work out cheaper if I got the train?)
Thanks

When are you thinking of going, out of interest?

I'm going again on Monday by train. According to Google Maps it's about a 20 minute walk from the station to the tour.

The nearest Metrolink is Deansgate and it's about a five minute walk from there.

IF you do take the train look at splitting the tickets. Can sometimes work out cheaper that way... And if the train stops at the stations you've elected to "change" at AFAIK you can stay on that service.

What time of day would you want to leave Wolverhampton and what time is your ticket booked for?

I travelled by train to Piccadilly. Then just got another train to Deansgate, return ticket is a couple of quid and the journey is about 5 mins. The studios are about a 5/10 minute walk from there.

I got to Piccadilly by train. Then got a replacement bus service to one of the streets near the Corrie set as the trams were not working on the day I visited.

I got off at Manchester Oxford Road and followed the road around past the town hall and the Hilton and you'll eventually reach the Atherton St junction. It's around 15 minute walk.
