This really isn't very useful. I am planning a first time trip to Manchester. I have access to a car. But am willing to travel by public transport as well. There doesn't seem to be much help to guide me as to the best way to get into Manchester. Or any prices for car parks. It seems to me I'd have to do an awful lot of research going through each of the options you display to sift out helpful info. Think of us poor folk who are new to all of this info. Not sure I can face coming now.
