Manchester: Getting from The Printworks to Holiday Inn Manchester West?

socks_uk

I'm looking for advice for public transport from The Printworks to the Holiday Inn in Liverpool Street, Manchester.

I'm attending the Redhead Day at The Printworks on Saturday June 7th and we will be travelling by train from home but will need to get back to the hotel at around 9 - 10pm.

I can see on Google Maps Streetview that there is a bus stop on both sides of the road right outside the Holiday Inn (M5 4LT) but I'm not having much luck on the Traveline website as to what route name/number it is. If anyone has any information I'd be very grateful.

Thanks in advance!

I wouldn't want to be on a bus in that part of Salford at that time of evening on a Saturday.

Get a cab.

Can you not get a hotel in the centre of Manchester?

Cab, or walk along Deansgate, easy enough.

That's Liverpool Road you're thinking of

Only the 79 runs down Liverpool street and it doesn't go via the city centre.

You could get the 67 or 100. Those will drop you at the corner of Oldfield road and you can walk from there. Alternatively the 33 will drop you in Regent road leaving you a 5 minute walk. However, as others have said, I wouldn't want to be walking around that part of Salford on my own at night. I would suggest you get a cab. It's only about 2 miles so should cost just over a fiver.

Thank you everyone... I obviously don't know the area and I appreciate your concerns.

I wish I could afford a more central hotel on a Saturday night but they are all over £100 so I'll pass on your info to my husband and let him know a taxi would be the best option for us.

Thanks again!

I used to work in Manchester and found a very nice free parking spot near there.

It cost he more in repairs and replacement tyres than paying for a nearby car park would have done!

Tram to Deansgate or train to Salford Central will do, followed by a short walk. But as suggested above, a taxi would be quicker and certainly more appropriate for the area.

OK... we're re-thinking things and we might use some of our Avios points to have a better/closer hotel.

Thanks all!

A cab is only a few £ - it's not a great distance at all - so don't pay a big extra amount for a city centre hotel just to save a little bit of cab money.
