Getting to our Handforth clinic from Wigan is straightforward whichever way you choose to travel. By train, the most reliable route is to head into Manchester Piccadilly and pick up a direct Northern Rail service to Handforth station, which sits just a five-minute walk from our clinic — the total journey typically takes around an hour to an hour and a quarter depending on connections. If you prefer to drive, the M6 southbound to junction 19, then the M56 westbound to junction 6, brings you into Handforth with ease; allow roughly 45 to 55 minutes in normal traffic, though it is always worth adding extra time if you are travelling during the morning rush. Free on-site parking is available, so there is no need to worry about finding a space or feeding a meter. From Wigan, the M6 can slow considerably around the Lymm interchange, so we suggest leaving a little earlier if you are heading down between eight and nine in the morning. The important thing to remember is that you only need to make the journey once — once your assessment is complete, your detailed report is sent electronically directly to your GP and school.
