Travelling to our Handforth clinic from Solihull is more straightforward than you might expect, and many clients find the journey itself a helpful chance to decompress before their appointment. By rail, the most reliable route is a direct or one-change service from Birmingham New Street into Manchester Piccadilly, then a short hop on the Styal Line to Handforth station — the clinic is roughly a five-minute walk from the platform, making the total journey around one hour forty-five minutes. If you're driving, the M6 northbound joining the M56 towards Manchester Airport brings you into Handforth comfortably in around an hour fifteen, depending on traffic; leaving before nine o'clock helps you avoid the usual contraflow delays around junction 4 of the M6. Parking on site is completely free, so there's no need to budget for that or worry about meters. Our one practical tip: save the postcode SK9 3SQ rather than the clinic name in your sat-nav for accuracy. Once your assessment is complete, you make just the one trip — your detailed report travels electronically, directly to your GP and school.
