    I’m up to Manc tomorrow for a meeting at the Manchester Technology Centre on Oxford Road.

    My train gets into Picadilly at 10.00 then I have to wait 15 mins for a train to Oxford Road which takes 2 minutes (meeting is at 10.30). My question is – could I walk to Oxford Rd from Picadilly and not bother with the train, and if so how long will it take?

    Cheers

    Between 10 and 15 minutes if that.

    Have a look on Google maps, straight down Whitworth st to Oxford rd, turn left, keep going to your destination.

    15 mins along Whitworth Street, some great buildings to look at on the way and stop off for a coffee at Olive Deli

    Nice one, cheers chaps. Looks like I’ll walk it, I’ll need to stretch my legs after 3 hours on the train.

    The Technology centre is next to the BBC, or what used to be the BBC building- now it is a big empty building with a massive industrial banner advertising asbestos removal on the front- that’s where you’ll need to go, just past that building and to your left.

    Ten minutes from Picaddilly is about right if you’re a fast walker but I’d be inclined to give it 15-20mins tbf to be on the safe side.
