Travelling to our Handforth clinic from Bolton is straightforward whichever way suits you best. By rail, the most reliable route is into Manchester Piccadilly, then a direct train on the Styal Line to Handforth station — the clinic is just a five-minute walk from there, making the total journey around fifty to sixty minutes door to door. If you prefer to drive, the M61 southbound connects neatly onto the M6 and then the M56 towards Wilmslow, with Handforth signposted shortly after junction 6; expect around forty-five minutes outside peak times, and please do allow a little extra if you are travelling during the morning rush. Free parking is available on site, so there is no need to worry about meters or charges on the day. One handy tip: Piccadilly station can feel busy and disorienting, so if you are travelling with a child who finds busy environments tricky, factor in a few extra quiet minutes before boarding. Once your assessment is complete, you make just the one journey home — your detailed report travels electronically, sent directly to your GP and school on your behalf.
