When arranging patient transport, location matters. Some journeys stay within the local area, while others can take passengers to specialist hospitals and healthcare facilities hundreds of miles away. Having a transport provider that can accommodate both local and longer-distance journeys can make arranging travel considerably simpler.
Based in the North West, Expedition Mini Coaches provides pre-arranged private patient transport across Cheshire, Greater Manchester and destinations throughout the UK, subject to availability and the requirements of the journey.
This means passengers, families and organisations can contact one provider whether the destination is nearby or much further afield.
Patient transport across Cheshire
Cheshire contains a mixture of towns, villages and more rural communities, which can make transport requirements very different from one passenger to another.
Expedition Mini Coaches can arrange collections and drop-offs across Cheshire, including areas such as:
- Macclesfield
- Wilmslow
- Knutsford
- Congleton
- Crewe
- Nantwich
- Northwich
- Middlewich
- Alderley Edge
- Poynton
- Holmes Chapel
- Sandbach
Passengers don’t necessarily need to be travelling between two locations within Cheshire. We can collect from the local area and travel onwards to destinations elsewhere in the country.
Patient transport across Greater Manchester
We also provide transport across Greater Manchester.
Journeys can be arranged from locations including Manchester, Stockport, Trafford, Salford, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Tameside and Wigan, subject to availability.
For passengers travelling into Manchester, journey planning is particularly important because traffic conditions can vary significantly throughout the day.
Where there is a specific required arrival time, providing this when requesting transport helps us plan an appropriate collection time.
Transport to hospitals across the North West
The North West has a large network of hospitals, specialist centres and healthcare facilities, meaning patients do not always receive treatment at the facility closest to their home.
Depending on the journey, Expedition Mini Coaches can provide transport to healthcare destinations throughout the region.
This could involve travelling from Cheshire into Greater Manchester, from Manchester into Cheshire or to healthcare facilities elsewhere in the North West.
The important thing when requesting a quote is to provide the exact collection point and destination, rather than simply the town or city.
Travelling into Manchester city centre
Several major healthcare facilities are located in and around Manchester, meaning passengers from surrounding towns may need to travel into the city for appointments and treatment.
For passengers coming from Cheshire, this can mean travelling through some of the busiest parts of the North West road network.
Allowing sufficient journey time is therefore important, particularly for morning appointments and journeys taking place during peak traffic periods.
When booking, tell us the time you need to arrive, rather than only telling us when you would like to be collected.
From the North West to anywhere in the UK
Our service isn’t restricted to Cheshire and Greater Manchester.
Some passengers need to travel considerably further for healthcare, specialist appointments or other planned journeys.
Depending on availability and the suitability of the journey, transport can be arranged from the North West to destinations throughout the UK.
That could mean a Cheshire passenger travelling to London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield or another part of the country, for example.
Equally, a journey may involve collecting a passenger elsewhere in the UK and bringing them back to the North West.
