North Manc Commuters

[blueST]

I live near Rochdale and work in Manchester near to Piccadilly Station. I’m trying to sort my commute as it’s pretty unpleasant, and it looks like my employer will be wanting us in the office more in the near future. I can drive and park near my office, but traffic is getting so bad and unpredictable and the cost of parking seems to go up every time I look. I do use the train quite often, but I have to get a lift to the station as don’t want leave the car near Rochdale station and then once I get in town I’ve still got to get across to Piccadilly on foot or by tram.

So, is there a better way? Can I drive some of the way, park somewhere secure for a reasonable fee and get a tram or train that will take me to Picadilly? Seems to me there must a better way.
