Picc-Vic was a proposed and later cancelled underground railway designed in the early 1970s with the purpose of connecting two major mainline railway termini in central Manchester England. The name Picc-Vic was a contraction of the two station names Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Victoria. The proposal envisaged the construction of an underground tunnel across Manchester city centre. The scheme was abandoned in 1977 during its proposal stages due to excessive costs.
