If your train departs from either of these platforms, make sure you have at least five minutes to make your way to this section of the station. A series of travellators are there to speed up your journey, but we all know there\u2019s no joy in having to rush to catch your next train!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Helpfully, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.networkrail.co.uk\/communities\/passengers\/our-stations\/manchester-piccadilly\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" style=\"color:#4022C0;\">Network Rail<\/a> provides a Manchester Piccadilly station map.
