Parking at Manchester Exchange Railway Station
The former station site is associated with a car park accessed from Victoria Street over the station approach bridge, which spans the River Irwell (manchesterhistory.net). Q-Park opened Deansgate North in July 2017, restoring the station's original red brickwork (wikipedia.org).
Drivers heading for the station area should therefore use the Victoria Street approach or one of the named city-centre car parks rather than expect a platform-side parking area at 2 Greengate.
Street Parking Around the Greengate Approach
The council also lists Victoria Station on Long Millgate Street, M3 1NX, in the same nearby-car-park information.
Those council details place the main parking references around Victoria Street, Long Millgate and the Exchange Square side of the city centre, rather than at the station address on Greengate. The listed station approach crosses the River Irwell by bridge, so drivers using surrounding streets should distinguish the approach road from the pedestrian-facing station frontage (manchesterhistory.net).
