Travelling from Plymouth to our Handforth clinic is a straightforward journey, and we want you to feel calm and prepared well before you arrive. By rail, the most reliable route is Plymouth to Manchester Piccadilly via Bristol Parkway or Birmingham New Street, with a total journey of roughly four to four and a half hours; from Manchester Piccadilly, Handforth station is just a five-minute train ride on the Styal line, and our clinic at SK9 3SQ is a short, flat walk from the platform. If you prefer to drive, the M5 northbound connecting to the M6 and then the M56 brings you directly into the Handforth area, typically in around three and a half to four hours depending on traffic, and free on-site parking means you can pull straight in without any fuss. One practical tip for travellers from the South West: book your rail tickets well in advance, as advance fares on the Plymouth to Manchester corridor sell quickly. Once your assessment is complete, you make that journey just once — your detailed report is sent electronically directly to your GP and school.
