Manchester Piccadilly Train Station

The limited number of disabled bays in the short-stay car park are treated as an Uber/minicab stand, with one car often parking across all three disabled bays to drop off and pick up passengers. No enforcement of blue badge parking, meaning people with disabilities are left to struggle. This is a busy main line station which needs to do better.

I had initially planned to review the Changing Places toilet solely but I was surprised by the facilities around it. The Changing Places toilet is available 24/7 and is located in the Accessibility Lounge, which offers a comfortable space for passengers to arrange or await assistance.

Manchester Piccadilly Train Station is a vast gateway to the UK, with routes to Birmingham, Bournemouth, Bristol, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Exeter, Glasgow, London, Nottingham, Plymouth, Reading, and Southampton. The station boasts 14 platforms, a Metrolink and airport links, shops, bars, and restaurants, as well as a Changing Places toilet and a sensory area. It's easy to see why this is Manchester's busiest station.
