Travelling from Basildon to our Handforth clinic is a straightforward journey whichever way suits you best. By rail, the most reliable route takes you into London Liverpool Street, across to Euston or St Pancras, and up to Manchester Piccadilly, from where Handforth station is just a five-minute local train ride — allow around three to three and a half hours in total, and check Avanti West Coast advance fares if you can book a few days ahead. If you prefer to drive, the A127 and M25 connect neatly to the M1, then the M6 and M56 bring you directly into the Handforth area, with the postcode SK9 3SQ working well on any sat nav — typical driving time is around three and a half to four hours depending on traffic around the Birmingham stretch of the M6, so setting off before eight in the morning helps considerably. Either way, free on-site parking is available at the clinic, so there is no last-minute scramble. Once your assessment is complete, your detailed report is sent electronically to your GP and school, meaning you make the journey just once.
