First operate a limited stop bus service between Newcastle-under-Lyme, Stoke-on-Trent Rail Station, Hanley City Centre & Alton Towers. It runs throughout the 2003 season and is probably the easiest way of getting to the park from Stoke-on-Trent Rail Station. Inclusive travel + park admission deals are available which offer good value for money however if only paying for the journey then the service is quite expensive.
