Booking assistance for your journey in advance
We welcome any travellers who have individual needs and those with disabilities, including wheelchair users and anyone with other mobility difficulties. Whether you need help boarding or alighting from trains, assistance with children or heavy luggage, or someone to meet you at a major station and guide you to a connecting service, we will be delighted to do all we can to make your journey as easy as possible.
Booking in advance (at least 24 hours before travel) enables us to ensure any arrangements can be made for assistance including car parking and other individual requirements. We can also advise other stations of your needs and time of arrival. You can book your assistance by:

or calling free on 0800 028 28 78
