Trains
Our trains date from a time before dedicated wheelchair spaces. However, we have adapted one of the carriages in the Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) that is used on most days to accommodate a wheelchair user in the passenger saloon. Where one of our other trains is being used (including the carriages used on our diesel loco days), there is plenty of accommodation for wheelchair users in the guard’s compartment. Ramps are carried on all trains and you will always find our friendly train crew willing to offer help.
Please call our Information Line on 08454 50 54 74 if you would like to check which train we are expecting to use on the day you are planning to visit.
Mobility scooters are only accepted on our trains by prior arrangement.
