Agreed, or possibly Castlefield, or Spinningfileds at a push. I'd vote for Great Northern too, although it isn't cheap, there's always tons of space so little chance of getting a car next to you. I've found a "special" space (as i always try to do) in my current car park, right in a corner and in with slightly awkward entry so others tend not to use it. With a bit of reverse-park nouse and nothing more than a medium sized car and you've got no chance of being dinged. Not sure what will happen when the S8 arrives though...

Achingly expensive though. Depends who is paying.

I probably understated it in a typical Lancashire way by saying "it isn't cheap", I agree it's eye wateringly expensive I've found a "special" space (as i always try to do) in my current car park, right in a corner and in with slightly awkward entry so others tend not to use it.

I'm a bit gutted as my city centre space will be going when we up sticks the Quays later this year, despite rarely using it. Personally, I avoid driving in unless it's half term or other school holidays as it's just too dull. If I had to it to park then I'd definitely use the train.
They've opened up the old CIS tower car park as a pay and display. It's currently on an introductory offer of £2 a day so it's full by the time I get there. Printworks NCP is less than £4 a day 'early bird' before a certain time (9am?). Arrive after that time and it's about £5 an hour!!
I quite like driving in, but I go in early. Been getting the tram a couple of days a week to keep the mileage down (lease ends in July, and it's going to be a touch over!) and whilst it's good once you're on, it's slower door to door cos I have to drive or cab it 15 mins to Altrincham to pick it up.

I was doing the tram for a while and sacked it off. Although it was a tad cheaper having to wait 12 minutes after just missing a tram a couple of times was too painful in this weather. I now park on Great Jackson Street at the RCP. It's £4 a day (although I use the app as i never have change which is £4.50) and a 10 minutes walk into the centre. Always plenty of space too.
