OUR TRAINS

The majority of our trains carry wheelchair ramps to enable passengers to board or alight at any of our stations with varied accommodation onboard for wheelchair users. However, due to the heritage nature of our carriages, most trains do not have accessible toilets on board.

​

We recommend contacting us to ensure we can look after your needs for your visit and to check what's running on a particular day.
