The proposed Manchester Interchange Station

Manchester Interchange is a planned HS2 station at Manchester Airport, on the southern boundary of Manchester, next to Junction 5 of the M56 motorway on the northern side of the airport 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north-west of Manchester Airport railway station.[1] Manchester Airport is the busiest airport outside the London region and offers more destinations than any other British airport. An airport station was recommended by local authorities during the consultation stage.[2][3] The government agreed in January 2013 for an airport station but agreed only on the basis that private investment was involved, such as funding from the Manchester Airports Group to build the station. The average journey from London Euston to Manchester Airport would be 59 minutes.[citation needed]

It has been proposed that the Manchester Interchange would be linked to Manchester Airport via a new western loop of the Manchester Metrolink airport line.[4] The line would also go via Wythenshawe Hospital.
