Alton Towers actually has a miniature railway inside the park. It’s not for getting there, but it’s cute and gives your legs a break from walking. Ride it and pretend you’re on a grand train journey—even if it’s just between the teacups and the log flume.
And here’s a secret: the park’s website has a “how to get here” section with train and bus details. It’s more reliable than asking a random squirrel—though the squirrel might look cute in a theme park hat.
