Default How to get to Old Trafford

I don't know quite which train you wish to catch to Manchester
Central. Last I heard was that service finished in May 1966. Perhaps
you mean Deansgate or Piccadilly. The 252 or 255 from Deansgate will
drop you right at Old Trafforwotsit, as will the 250 from Oxford Rd.


A bit OT, but never mind...

On match days, there is a train service. This normally operates from
Alderley Edge or Crewe via Piccadilly, Oxford Road and Deansgate to
Manchester United Football Ground Halt, which is literally attached to the
side of the ground. You're more likely to have a pleasant journey on
there than on the overcrowded trams.

Outside match days, bus 250 (goes from Picc Gardens down Whitworth Street
unless things have changed) or the tram - or possibly the other buses as
above (I'm not familiar with those ones).
