Train Travel

If you are registered as blind (severely sight impaired) or partially sighted (sight impaired) you are eligible to apply for a disabled person’s railcard.  THis gives at least one third off the price of certain rail tickets for the cardholder, and a companion where applicable.

Passenger Assistance is a service provided by train companies to disabled passengers and others who require assistance with any part of their train journey.  Staff can help you plan your journey, book tickets and make reservations; they can also assist you at stations and on board trains, with anything from changing platforms to finding your seat.  Passenger Assistance is free and available to anyone who needs assistance due to a disability, temporary impairment, or older age. No railcard is required.
