Stockport Training Centre By Rail

Stockport is a principal railway station and every train passing through stops at Stockport. So if travelling from the South you will most likely find direct routes to Stockport on west coast line trains that stop at Manchester Piccadilly. From the North you will likely travel in to Manchester Victoria Station, take The Metrolink Tram to Manchester Piccadilly ( 5 minutes ) and then a train out to Stockport ( 10 minutes ). From Stockport Station either take the 384 bus ( see above ) or get a taxi. The station is only about 1.6 mile/30 minutes from The DIY School so you could even walk if you are feeling fit and don't have a heavy bag.
