Answer 1

The nearest station to Alton Towers is Uttoxeter, from where there is an hourly bus service that drops you right outside the gates. Take a train from Bedford to Derby, and change there for a connecting train to Uttoxeter.

For Thorpe Park, there's a shuttle bus from Staines. South West Trains offer an inclusive ticket covering train travel to Staines, the bus shuttle thence to Thorpe Park, and admission.

Answer 2

There is no railway station serving Alton Towers - it was closed many years ago. In fact, the Alton Towers website only suggests car travel (http://www.altontowers.com/pages/plannin...

Thorpe Park will require a train into London, tube and then another train to Staines and thereafter a shuttle bus. For full transport details see http://www.thorpepark.com/getting-here.p...
