INFORMATION FOR DISABLED PASSENGERS

Information on travel assistance for disabled passengers

Getting Around

Arrangements can be made for disabled passengers. We can usually arrange for staff to meet you at your departure station, accompany you to the train and see you safely on board. Similar arrangements can be made at your destination station and other stations if you need to change trains. For example, ramps can be provided for wheelchair users. The links below will help you plan you journeys.

  • To see which Train Operating Company you need to contact for assistance and to find out about station facilities. Click here to find your starting station
  • If you already know the name of the train company, find the Train Operating Companies' contact details here (including a helpline and textphone to book assistance if required).
  • We are better able to help you if you contact us as far in advance of your journey as possible. Please try to give at least 24 hours' notice of your journey. If you do not give us notice, we will try to help but cannot guarantee to provide our normal level of service.
  • To find out more information about the Disabled Persons Railcard visit the Disabled Persons Railcard website.
  • The booklet Rail Travel Made Easy provides useful information for disabled passengers.
  • Sometimes it can be helpful to have an idea of what a station looks like before you get there. Stations Made Easy allows you to plan a route around a station, and see photos of it. Click on the link here, input the name or three letter code of the station you are interested in, and select "Stations Made Easy" from the list of options.
  • Maps for People with Reduced Mobility Maps showing which stations have access to platforms without the use of steps, and giving some idea of staffing levels.
  • Arrangements for powered scooters on trains. For people wishing to know more about taking mobility scooters or buggies.
