Nearest Rail and Train Connections

Rail Booking Office & Ground level
Change lift
on this level
 Lift, stairs or escolator
Lower level
Train Platforms, waiting room & cafe in a cutting
   

Vertically the Skylink is slightly off set from the rail platforms, and therefore no direct lift, escolator or stairs. 
You have to transfer at the Rail Booking Office level to a seperate lift etc
The two sets of lifts, escolators or stairs are only several metres apart.

Use the lifts if you are using an airport luggage trolly

Skylinks (overhead walkways)

Manchester airport Skylink Walkway and moving pavement
Skylink Walkway and moving pavement

The walkways are built on stilts and are glass sided corridors.  There is a fair distance between the Rail / Bus interchange and the terminals.  Running down the centre of the skylink walkways are 2 wide moving pavements, one in each direction. So the distance is not a problem although several minutes should be allowed for travelling along the skylink. 

At the Rail / Bus interchange you have a choice of 2 skylinks

  • One going to Terminals 1 and 3
  • The other going to Terminal 2

You should find out which terminal 1, 2, or 3 you require from your airline before arriving, so that you can use the correct skylink walkway.  see Terminal guide

Train Services

There are full train services through the day and direct trains run from Sheffield, Blackpool, Bolton, Huddersfield, Leeds, Manchester, Preston and York through the night.

Non direct trains change at Manchester Piccadilly, or Preston .

From Leeds there is approximately an hourly service during the day and evening and 2 hourly all through the night.

A cafe, open 6am - 10pm, is situated between the 2 rail platforms.  At night and if you know your train time and have a while to wait I recommend that you use the facilities of the airport for a coffee etc.
