Travel Disruption

Train strikes affecting the 27 October have recently been announced by Northern Rail, which will impact on services around the Salford and Manchester area. Please check Northern’s website for the latest updates.

Please also note that, due to ongoing engineering works in the area, there are no trains stopping at Salford Crescent station on the weekend of 27 October. Rail replacement buses may be running from some surrounding stations, so please check Northern’s website for details.

Salford Crescent train station is located in the middle of our campus, between our Peel Park and Frederick Road sites, making us very easy to get to by rail. Trains from both Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Victoria run through the station regularly, as well as from Manchester Airport, Blackpool, Southport, Wigan, Blackburn, Preston and Huddersfield. The station is fully accessible for wheelchairs, pushchairs and bicycles.
