Disabled Access/ Accessibility Information: 

Due to the age of our heritage carriages and their fixed seating we are unable to seat wheelchairs and mobility scooters in the main carriages. We have an adapted carriage for mobility impaired visitors which is accessed via a ramp with seating areas for carers.

Assistance Dogs are allowed to accompany their owner in all areas of the railway including the café and dining carriages (please let us know that an Assistance Dog will be with you when booking for our dining trains).

Dog friendly: 

Dogs are very welcome at the railway and can travel free of charge as long as they don't take up a seat!

We don't allow dogs into the dining carriages or Whistlestop cafe, but we have plenty of outside seating, loads of water bowls and if Rover visits the shop he may get a dog treat.
