As title really, NCP warehouse 2 looks pricey. But then maybe that's the going rate for Manchester/cities?

Ended up parking at Duke Street, thanks for the suggestions all. Tram service didn't seem to be in full flow today from what we could see.

Retro gaming section was very nostalgic at the Science and Industry museum.
