This has got to be a first, just in time for opening by public transport.More positive news for public transport users.
D&G buses, who run the Stafford/Uttoxeter/Alton Towers service have introduced a new service between Stoke Station/Hanley/Cheadle and Alton Towers.
It leaves Stoke station at 8.55am arriving at the park at 10am, returning back at 5.30pm. Operates Mon-Saturday.

Does anyone know if the Stoke bus is actually running at the moment.
Its advertised on the AT site but its not listed on D&G's own site.
It stopped running at the end of the summer holidays. The Stafford/Uttoxeter/Alton Towers bus is still running.
Sadly the X41 Stafford/Uttoxeter/Alton Towers bus is being withdrawn from tomorrow and will no longer run.
Lovely, I guess I will need to hire a car to visit for Scarefest. Another reason not to renew my Merlin pass and to stick visiting Blackpool Pleasure Beach instead.
I want to know when the x52 will start again
Well it cost £12 return on x52 which is pretty expensive imo. So I usually use swift from trentbarton instead. No it doesn't go directly past towers but the closest it gets is Ellastone. From there its 3 miles to the park which isn't bad, takes about 47 mins to walk that. It also only costs £6 for a zig zag ticket (unlimited travel on trentbarton lines) so with it being half the price of x52 its much better value. Yes I do have to walk a bit but nothing wrong with bit of exercise!Maybe tweet Notts and Derby and ask?
