The A6 heads into the city centre via London Road and Piccadilly, but loses its number and vanishes. It would have gone straight down Piccadilly and Market Street to meet Deansgate, and then across the River Irwell into Salford, and up Chapel Street, where the number reappears. Market Street has been pedestrianised for years, so the A6 has long ceased to be a through route. https://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/wiki/index.php?title=A6/Hazel_Grove_-_Manchester There are two bus stops outside Tesco Express. These are only used by one of the free around the city shuttle buses and replacement buses only required when Metrolink trams through Piccadilly Gardens are out of operation for some reason.
