Q. How long is your line?

Q: What facilities do you have for the disabled?

A: We welcome all.  Customers with disabilities or using a wheelchair are welcome.  Please ask one of our station staff for assistance to board the train.  As our carriages are from the 1950s they do not have wheelchair accessible doors, however on most services we are able to offer a ride in our Guard’s Van, through the wide parcels doors, and we have a ramp to make access easy with a Porter to assist you. Please phone 01226 746746 in advance to check that we are to accommodate you on the day you wish to travel.  A wheelchair accessible toilet is available on the station.
