1 operator run this water, from 45 min. Stoke-on-Trent (Hanley Bus Station) has an airport 37 km from the quay, so this is a crossing you can make one way and fly the other.
One row per operator and speed. Where a service is sold as fast and its average does not clear 45 km/h, the word appears in quotation marks — the boat is fast craft, the crossing is not.
If this crossing does not suit, these quays also reach Stoke-on-Trent (Hanley Bus Station) without a change. It is the question a single-route page cannot answer about itself and an atlas can.
