Travelling from Gloucester to our Handforth clinic is more straightforward than you might expect, and many clients from the South West find the journey entirely manageable as a single day trip. By rail, the most reliable route is via Bristol Parkway or Cheltenham Spa into Manchester Piccadilly, then a short hop on the Stoke line to Handforth station, which sits just five minutes' walk from our clinic — total journey time is typically around two and a half to three hours. If you prefer to drive, the M5 northbound connecting to the M6 and then the M56 brings you directly into the Handforth area, with the journey taking roughly two hours in reasonable traffic; free on-site parking means you can pull straight in without any hassle. One practical tip: the M6 around Birmingham and junction 19 can be congested on weekday mornings, so setting off before eight o'clock makes a real difference. Once your assessment is complete, you simply make the return journey home — your detailed report travels digitally, sent directly to your GP and school on your behalf.
