Travelling from Blackpool to our Handforth clinic is straightforward whichever way you prefer to get here. By rail, the most reliable route is a direct or one-change train into Manchester Piccadilly, then a short hop on the Crewe line to Handforth station, which is just a five-minute walk from our clinic — the total journey typically takes around one hour and forty-five minutes to two hours depending on connections. If you are driving, the M55 to the M6 south, then the M56 towards Chester and off at junction 6 for Handforth, is a smooth route of roughly an hour and a quarter in normal traffic; free on-site parking means there is no rush to find a meter or feed a machine when you arrive. A practical tip worth noting: the M6 around the Lymm interchange can slow considerably on weekday mornings, so leaving Blackpool by 8 am gives you a comfortable buffer. Your assessment itself is thorough but unhurried, and once your report is complete it goes directly to your GP and school electronically — you make just the one journey and everything else follows.
