Information on travel assistance for disabled passengersArrangements 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. Don’t forget, before booking your rail ticket, to check the access at the station you depart from and at your destination station. You can search for any stations you need on the National Rail Website. Another thing you should consider is applying for a Disabled Persons Railcard. The card entitles the holder and an (unnamed) companion to a discount on the majority of train tickets. The Association of Train Operating Companies who administer the card are also introducing a range of additional benefits for card holders. For information on these, eligibility, and how to apply visit the Disabled Persons Railcard website.
