Travelling to our Handforth clinic from Stoke-on-Trent is more straightforward than you might expect, and knowing the route in advance can make the day feel much calmer. By rail, take a train from Stoke-on-Trent towards Manchester Piccadilly, then change for the Crewe or Wilmslow stopping service to Handforth station, which sits just five minutes' walk from our clinic — the whole journey typically takes around one hour fifteen minutes. If you prefer to drive, the M6 northbound joining the M56 westbound brings you directly towards the Handforth area, with a journey of roughly fifty to sixty minutes depending on traffic; free on-site parking means you can pull straight in without any last-minute scrambling for change or a pay-and-display space. A practical tip for those coming up the M6 corridor: leave a comfortable buffer before your appointment time, as the M6 around junction 15 can be slow during morning peaks. The assessment itself is thorough but relaxed, and once it is complete you make that journey just once — your detailed report travels electronically, straight to your GP and school on your behalf.
