Manchester Airport's Concorde

How easy is it to get to view Concorde at Manchester Airport, using public transport (can you access this aircraft from Manchester Airport railway station)?

Best Wishes

It seems a shame to me that free public access to the aircraft wasn’t one of the conditions for being given a Concorde. Access to Duxford is only £2.95 more expensive than this single aircraft tour.:confused:

My thoughts too ! Thats why i will not pay to go in when a full day at Duxford including Concorde is better value !

From the Airport it is about a forty five minute walk that is only when it is a nice day but I think you can get a bus from the airport which passes near by.

Here’s the answer from Mr C:

The AVP (Aviation Viewing park) is just off the M56:

I’ve not been but looked this out a little while ago for a trip that didn’t happen.

You get the train to the airport and then it is 80p on a shuttle bus. (I’d take more cash – websites are often out of date)
