Travelling to our Handforth clinic from Rochdale is straightforward whichever way you prefer to get here. By rail, the most reliable route is to head into Manchester Piccadilly and pick up a train on the Styal line towards Wilmslow or Crewe, alighting at Handforth station, which is just a five-minute walk from the clinic — the whole journey typically takes around an hour. If you are driving, the M62 east towards the M60, then south on the M60 and M56 towards the airport, before joining the A34 into Handforth, is generally the smoothest route and takes roughly 45 to 55 minutes depending on traffic. Free on-site parking is available, so there is no need to worry about meters or charges. One practical tip for those coming from the Rochdale direction: allow a little extra time if you are travelling between 8 and 9 am, as the M60 around Stockport can be busy. Once your assessment is complete, you make just the one trip — your detailed report is sent electronically directly to your GP and school.
