Manchester Piccadilly station, Railway station and industrial site in central Manchester, England
Manchester Piccadilly operates 14 platforms serving intercity, regional, and local train services through a massive glass-roofed structure in downtown Manchester.
The station began operations in 1842 as Store Street, changed to London Road in 1847, and received its current name Manchester Piccadilly in 1960.
The Grade II listed train shed demonstrates the evolution of Victorian railway engineering through four distinct construction periods visible in its expansive roof structure.
The station provides 254 bicycle spaces, waiting rooms, retail shops, food outlets, and direct connections to Manchester's Metrolink tram network in the undercroft.
Two different overhead railway electrification systems function simultaneously at the station, accommodating various types of electric trains from different routes.
