TRAVEL

By Bike:

There is a network of cycleways, dedicated lanes, paths and routes providing links across Greater Manchester.

BY TRAM

By Tram:

Manchester Originals are pleased to team up with Transport for Greater Manchester this year to encourage our fans to travel sustainably to our home fixtures at Emirates Old Trafford. Getting to Emirates Old Trafford on the tram* system couldn’t be easier.

Trams on the Altrincham line operate to Old Trafford which is directly next to the stadium. However, with so many people going to the match, services will be very busy and you may want to walk to another stop before or after the fixture to avoid the crowds.

There are several stops within a short walking distance of the venue.

Firswood: A 10-minute walk away. Board an East Didsbury line or Manchester Airport line service from this stop.

Wharfside: A 15-minute walk away.

Exchange Quay: A 20-minute walk away. Board a tram on the Eccles line

For those visiting the region from further afield there is free parking for Metrolink customers at Park and Ride sites across the network.

Attendees should use contactless for payments, it's the easy way to pay. Just remember to touch-in and touch-out! Plan your journey in advance.
