Travelling from Maidstone to our Handforth clinic is a straightforward, if lengthy, journey, so it is well worth planning ahead. By train, your most reliable route is from Maidstone East or West into London, then a direct service from London Euston to Manchester Piccadilly; from there, Handforth station is just five minutes away on the Stoke line, and the clinic is a short walk from the platform. Door to door, allow around three and a half to four hours each way. If you prefer to drive, the M25, M6, and M56 bring you directly into the SK9 area, with free on-site parking waiting for you when you arrive — no scrambling for change after a long motorway run. A practical tip for travellers from Kent: book a flexible rail ticket where possible, as morning services through London can run late. Once your assessment is complete, you make that journey only once — your detailed report is sent electronically directly to your GP and school.
