An increasing number of our boys are opting to take faster train and Metrolink services before connecting with the MGS Shuttle at Manchester Victoria and Manchester Piccadilly. This has proved to be very successful for pupils who live in Sheffield, Warrington, Wigan, Bolton, Rochdale, Oldham, Stalybridge, Marple, Glossop and the High Peak, and Congleton.

We monitor forecasts closely and the arrangements for decision-making and communication when severe weather warnings are issued can be read here.
