Salford Central Station has been transformed with an investment of £5 million to improve waiting areas, security, customer information and taxi and bus facilities.

Metroshuttle is a free bus service in Manchester city centre which was launched in 2002 to help commuters in the city centre ditch the car and reduce congestion. The service is frequent and has 3 routes:

• Manchester Circular
• Manchester Victoria, Shudehill, Castlefield, Deansgate, Oxford Road
• Piccadilly, Salford Central

The Metrolink Tram System will be extended from Manchester Piccadilly to Ashton-under-Lyne, with stops at Ancoats, Eastland, Clayton, Droylsden and Audenshaw, making the journey just a couple of minutes to the city centre. This is part of a major regeneration project for East Manchester.

And further plans are in consideration for a ‘Green Corridor’ for Oxford Road, where a low-emission high-frequency shuttle service will run between Christie Hospital, Salford Crescent, Parrs Wood Didsbury, Manchester Piccadilly, and terminating at Oxford Road railway station.
