## 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](https://www.parksy.com/blog/q-park-united-kingdom-review-pros-cons-summary-services) 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).

## Parksy Spaces Near Manchester Exchange

Parksy lists a 24/7 driveway space in Salford near the Premier Inn, 156 yards away, at £15 a day. A covered 24/7 space in Manchester, M3 1NN, is 178 yards away and costs £12 a day. The covered option suits drivers who want shelter, while the driveway is a straightforward choice for an all-day stay.

Near the AO Arena, a secure space in M3 1AR is 204 yards away at £3 an hour. A secure covered space in Cheetham Hill on New Bridge Street is also 204 yards away and costs £12 a day. Further options include secure and affordable city-centre parking 291 yards away at £10.50 a day, plus a Blackfriars Street space in M3, 314 yards away at £24.95 a day.

## Commuter Choices for the Station Area

The Parksy spaces with 24/7 access give commuters flexibility for early departures, late arrivals and irregular shifts. The Salford driveway is 156 yards away, while the covered Manchester space in M3 1NN is 178 yards away. Both are priced by the day, making them suited to a full working day rather than a short collection or drop-off.

For shorter visits, the secure AO Arena space is priced hourly at £3 an hour and sits 204 yards from the station area. Drivers staying for a full day can compare the £10.50 city-centre space 291 yards away with the £12 daily covered options. The Blackfriars Street space is listed at £24.95 a day and is 314 yards away.

## Walking and Public Transport Connections

Salford Central railway station is the nearest listed rail connection, at 0.5 miles or a 10-minute walk from the station. Manchester Piccadilly station is about an 18-minute walk away, giving rail travellers a second major interchange within the city centre.

Exchange Quay provides 1,850 parking spaces, a dedicated Metrolink stop and links to major railway stations (exchangequay.com), making it a park-and-ride-style alternative for drivers approaching Manchester from the south.
