Answer 6

The nearest main station is stoke on trent station. buses go from Stoke station to Alton Towers and back again.  thats the easiest I reckon

Answer 7

there's ,i believe a connecting bus from Uttoxeter  Rail Station, http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ is also worth a look,has someone else has suggested

Answer 8

Don't know

Check out the website

Answer 9

Uttoxeter is the closest but has no facilities other than a pay phone so your best bet would be to book your train ticket with a connecting taxi. Details of this can be found on www.nationalrail.co.uk

Advance booking is essential. A couple of local operators:

Oldfields  01889 562299  

QCS  01889 590829  

I did this a couple of years ago and it wasn't that expensive. I stayed a couple of miles away from Alton Towers in a local B & B that had a direct bus link.

Hope this helps

Answer 10

Uttoxeter is the nearest station then you would have to take a 20 to 30 min Taxi ride otherwise Stoke On Trent is the main nearest Train Station which 5 years ago ran a bus to Alton Towers at around 9.00am and a bus back at about 5.00pm. I don't know if this is still the case but a taxi will take about 45 minutes to get there.
