Manchester trams
Hi
I’m going to the Lowry theatre in December and I’m staying at the Radisson Manchester airport (cheaper than premier inn) Someone has already told me that the tram is safe to use at night, but for the life of me (even though the website for the tram shows they run until late evening) I can’t seem to work out how to get back without a 20 min walk Does anyone use the trams and are they reliable |

I'm sure I read somewhere they are running until 2am over Christmas. I will try and find out properly!
The tram to the airport is quite a arduous journey though! Did you look at hotels near The Lowry? There's a Holiday Inn at Media City if you can change? The city centre would also be a better option.

Hi The Lowry is £306 and the holiday inn is £176 the Radisson is only £119, it’s the night of the 7th. It’s looking like it’s a really busy night🙈
I might just drive there and back, I think it would be easier |

The Premier Inn Media City is £150 for that night. I know it’s a bit more expensive but when you factor in the cost of tram fares etc it won’t be too much different and is only 5/10 min walk from the theatre.

I'd jump a taxi to Piccadilly and get the train from there.

I agree with this, there is a really good vibe about the area and would in my opinion, be a lot nicer experience.

Not checked your dates and times but train from airport to Piccadilly station, change to tram to Lowry and reverse on way back. Couple of minute walk at each end

Tram form Manchester Airport, if youre near the train station and then chanhe at Cornbrrok for Media City, this stops near the Lowry and the same in reverse.
Driving is a better option though if you ask me unless you were hoping to have a little drinky |
