The 'alternative' toilets are better than the main ones, if they're open.
Taxis outside station are expensive. Instead, go out of the main doors, across the crossroads and get a taxi from the office on the right. Much cheaper.
Edge of greater Manchester so can get cheaper rail tickets to Manchester
The new waiting rooms at the Manchester end of the station are lovely and warm in winter.
There's trains to Manchester Victoria, Wigan Wallgate, Rochdale, Leeds, and at Peak Times, a service to York.
Catch the Metroshuttle bus number 2 from outside the station for free travel around the city centre.
Free parking, not far from the M62, and hourly trains into Leeds and Bradford - great as a park and ride station. A few direct London trains too.
