By air

Manchester International Airport, known locally as Ringway, is located to the South of Greater Manchester and offers internal, european and intercontinental flights. Direct trains serve Salford Crescent from the Airport's railway station. However, to reach most parts of the city, the best option would be to take a train to Manchester city centre and take a tram from Piccadilly, a train from Piccadilly or Victoria to the relevant suburban stop, or a bus.

By train

The nearest mainline station for most of Salford would be Manchester Piccadilly.Parts of the city are also quite near Bolton and Wigan. Wigan is directly on the line serving Preston, Carlisle, Glasgow and Edinburgh, from London and the south, and is very well served.

By bus

The nearest National Express coach station is Manchester Central.The regular Manchester to Liverpool service has stops along Regent Road in Salford. Local bus services are provided by Firstbus for the most part. Buses from Manchester city centre leave for various parts of Salford from Piccadilly Bus Station as well as Shudehill.

By car

Follow any directions relating to Manchester and you will find your way. The M602 motorway, off the M60 orbital road, is signposted Manchester and Salford. There are also signs on the Manchester/Salford inner ring road.
