The Manchester velodrome event is on Sunday 4th Jan, it is indoors in the velodrome, but unlike last year (where it was in the inside space at the centre of the track where the cyclists warm up/down between events) this time it will be in the circular balcony are above the track where there is a large area for the expected hundreds of vendors to put out stalls and bikes for sale. It is usually a well attended event and a mix of road, MTB, modern and vintage, plus clothing and all manner of accessories and parts, if it's collectable it will be there. The bikecreche organised event is usually twice annually

Manchester Velodrome isn't a show, it's just a bike jumble (although still plenty of cool things to see). You can usually access though any of the entrances to get to the front desk for tickets & admittance to the cycle track area.

York (now Driffield) is a show, so a variety of activites (rides out, talks, demonstrations etc) and things to see across lots of cycling 'genres'. Usually runs over 3 days, so a lot of people camp. There is also a bike jumble. Been going 100 years!

Closest train station to Velodrome is probably Piccadilly. But Victoria not too bad either. You can get a tram straight to the Etihad which is next door, or cycling infastructure is decent (i use the canal). Loads of bike parking as you might expect
