Travelling from Lancaster to our Handforth clinic is more straightforward than it might first appear, and many clients from that direction find the journey itself quite manageable. By rail, the most reliable route is a direct or single-change service into Manchester Piccadilly, then a short hop on the Styal line to Handforth station, which sits just five minutes' walk from our clinic — the whole journey typically takes around one hour and forty-five minutes to two hours. If you prefer to drive, the M6 south to junction 19, then the M56 eastbound to the A34, brings you directly into Handforth; allow around an hour and a quarter in normal traffic. Free on-site parking is available, so there's no need to worry about meters or time pressure on the day. A practical tip for those coming from Lancaster: double-check your train times the evening before, as early morning services on this corridor can change seasonally. The assessment itself is a relaxed, structured conversation — and once it's complete, your detailed report travels electronically to your GP and school, so you only need to make the journey once.
