Alton Towers doesn’t have its own train station. I know, I know—tragic. You can’t just roll up to a platform with a ticket that says “Alton Towers: Smiler Entrance, please.” The nearest station is Stoke-on-Trent, which sounds as exciting as a cup of cold tea, but hear me out.
From Stoke-on-Trent, you’ll need a taxi or a bus. It’s about a 20-minute drive through the Staffordshire countryside. Think of it as a pre-ride for your stomach before the actual rides—bumpy roads are a bonus, right?
