Travelling from Colchester to our Handforth clinic is very manageable once you've planned it out. By rail, the most straightforward route takes you into London Liverpool Street, across to London Euston, and then north on a direct service to Manchester Piccadilly — the total journey is typically around three to three and a half hours. From Manchester Piccadilly, a short Northern Rail hop of just five minutes brings you straight into Handforth station, and the clinic is only a brief walk away. If you'd rather drive, the A12 connects you to the M25, then the M6 northbound and M56 bring you into Cheshire with ease — allow roughly three and a half to four hours depending on traffic. Free parking is available directly on site, so there's no need to worry about that on arrival. One practical tip: the East Midlands stretch of the M6 can be slow on weekday afternoons, so if driving, an earlier start pays off. Once your assessment is complete, you make the journey just once — your detailed report is sent electronically to your GP and school.
