Cant help with the costs but I think there is a bus service from Hanover airport to Celle for servicemen and their friends and families. We went last May and Celle was as beautiful as when we lived there many years ago. 
Thanks for the reply. Not sure if we would qualify for that. I am actually going with my mum as a bit of a pilgrimage as that is where I was born as my dad was in the army at the time (37 years ago!) It will the first time I have actually been there since!
Info for all scheduled public transport in Germany is available through http://www.bahn.co.uk
the enquiry box at the top left is only a starter and takes you to a bigger selection screen on the German site but this way it gives it to you in English!
You can ask for Hannover Airport in English, it will work out the German name for you. Currently showing an hourly train journey through the day, takes 29 minutes and cost €6.90 for 1 adult. If you need a bus in Celle the system will work out the entire journey if you know the bus stop name. Schedules change in mid December, the trains are already in but the buses aren't. Full Celle bus info is at http://www.cebus-celle.de/frameset.html
You'll notice that the second part of the train journey is run by Metronom - this is actually Arriva (yes, the English company with the turquoise buses) using a local brand name!

Thanks for the info - very helpful

I was actually born at Celle Krankenhaus - too impatient to make it to Hanover! Was then transferred onto Hanover at approx 3 hours old. My parents actually met in Celle and it was their first married home so it should be a bit of an emotional journey and really looking forward to it.

Celle Krankenhaus is lovely and it overlooks the river.I remember envying the nurses lovely uniforms as I worked at the camp medical centre and we just wore white coats.
If you PM me with your email address I would be more than happy to send you some photos of Celle and Hanover hospital that we took when we were there,Jay
