.
By
bus from the city centreThe most frequent bus service on Sundays into Chorlton is the number 86 which leaves from stand M in Piccadilly Gardens every 10 minutes. The number 85 is slightly less frequent on Sundays, and it takes a slightly different route, but it also leaves from stand M in Piccadilly Gardens. If you arrive in Manchester by train at Piccadilly station,
the shortest route to a suitable bus stop
would be to walk down the station approach, head for Piccadilly Gardens, and pick up one of the Chorlton buses as described above. On the 86, book to and alight at Chorlton Cross (the junction of Wilbraham Road and Manchester Road East - see map below). Walk to the Natwest bank on the north-east corner of the crossroads and, standing with your back to the bank, turn left and walk along Wilbraham Road, past Morrisons, over the bridge, past the Shell garage, and the church is on your right. On the 85, book to Morrisons in Chorlton, and you will eventually approach Chorlton down Alexandra Road (see map below) then along Wilbraham Road - but from the other direction, i.e. you will pass the church on your left just before you reach the bridge near Morrisons, which is where you should alight. Full details of buses and timetables are available at http://www.gmpte.com You might find the bus journey is cheaper if you use a Stagecoach Dayrider ticket, rather than purchasing two single tickets for your outward and return journeys.
