It is situated between the Slauson and Harbor Freeway stations on the J Line, a bus rapid transit route which runs between El Monte, Downtown Los Angeles and San Pedro as part of the Los Angeles Metro Busway system. The station consists of two side platforms in the center of Interstate 110 above Manchester Avenue. The station serves the Vermont Knolls, Vermont Vista, Florence, and Broadway-Manchester neighborhoods of Los Angeles.

Manchester station was built between 1989 and 1996 as part of the Harbor Transitway and opened to passengers on August 1, 1996.[1] J Line buses serve the station twenty-four hours a day; the headway between buses is about four minutes during peak periods, with less frequent service at other times. Manchester station is also served by several Los Angeles Metro Bus and Torrance Transit bus services, most of which only run during weekday peak periods.
