The Green Building - Transport

Transport

Due to the city centre location of the Green Building, public transport links are in abundance. Because of the excellent transportation links, no car parking spaces were provided as part of the development. Instead, bicycle parking bays were supplied with both internal and external parking facilities available.

The Green Building is located on New Wakefield Street adjacent to Oxford Road national rail station, providing direct rail links to Manchester Airport, Liverpool, Wales, the Lake District, the Peak District and the Midlands. The nearby (five minute walk - more like 10 to 15 minutes) Manchester Piccadilly Rail Terminus provides direct links to London, the rest of England and Scotland.

There are two Metrolink tram stops in close proximity to The Green Building. Deansgate-Castlefield and St Peter's Square are nearby, both on the Altrincham/Eccles line.

The site The Green Building resides on has two public thoroughfares either side of the development, both pedestrianised. The main road for vehicle access is Great Marlborough Street, which has pay and display on-street parking for up to three hours.

Macintosh Village is connected to the Manchester Inner Ring Road via the A57(M) flyover that passes 300 metres to the south of The Green Building, which provides access to the national motorway network.

Oxford Road, claimed by some analysts to be part of the busiest bus corridor in Europe, is 75 metres east of The Green Building, and provides bus links to The University of Manchester, Chorlton, Longsight, Piccadilly Gardens, Manchester Airport, The Trafford Centre and many other locations across the south of Greater Manchester.
