In the center of Manchester, there is a large bus station. You can take a bus anywhere in the United Kingdom. Near the bus station is the railway station, Piccadilly Station. It is one of the busiest railway stations in England. There are a lot of office buildings in Manchester, and also some tall skyscrapers. People come from the suburbs each day by train or by car, to work in the offices. There is usually a lot of traffic on the streets and the traffic always moves slowly during peak hours, between 6am and 9am, and again in the evening. © 2014-2021 Global Online Language Services Inc.
