Cornbrook Metrolink

Cornbrook is a metrolink station just outside Manchester city centre and close to Deansgate.
Cornbrook is like the central metrolink hub, all lines seem to go through here whether you are going to Media City or Manchester Airport.
They is 2 platforms, next to each other so you don’t need to worry about going down the wrong lift or staircase, it is just which platform you have to wait at. Be warned they must be a train on every line going from each platform, so make sure you check before you board.
Timing screens were working correctly.
They is lifts and it is disabled accesable.
I think Cornbrook isn’t the right place for the metrolink hub however because, I know it has got to be like that but a station like Piccadily would be better as they is more facilities and even easy access to trains after that but still they can’t change it now.
If you are going on one of the longer metrolink journeys, odds are you are going to have to use Cornbrook as it is on nearly every line of the metrolink.
They is no Park and Ride faciltiies here but it is understandable as due to its location just outside the city centre and close to Deansgate, then people would take advantage of them by using these spots and not the metrolink.
Overall this is one of the better metrolink stations with working time boards, shelter and is on near enough every line but as the location could be improved which would bring better facilities like shops, resturants and ATM which is feeless, they is an ATM close by but I wouldn’t reccomened it because you do get charged. For one of the main reasons being the connection on every line and working time boards, this station does indeed deserve 3 stars, hopefully they can add a newsagents and café to make it seem more of a friendly hub rather than a «Like it or lump it, we are based here so you have to come here or use the buses» venue.
