GETTING TO THE GROUND

BY BIKE

Bikes* are allowed inside the venue but cannot be ridden. They can be pushed through gates and parked in bike stands under E Stand, where there are 10 cycling bays.

BY TRAM

We encourage our fans to travel sustainably to our fixtures at Old Trafford Cricket Ground. Getting to 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.

Manchester Piccadilly, Deansgate Castlefield and Victoria train* stations all have access to tram stops, which will take you directly to the ground.
