The GWR is committed to making everyone's visit to the railway
as enjoyable as possible. To this end all of our stations (with the
exception of Gotherington which is accessible only on foot) have
good access for disabled passengers. It is important to point out
though that the platform at Cheltenham Race Course is accessed via
a long slope which some visitors might find difficult.
Our trains have compartments which have been specially adapted
for wheelchair passengers and their helpers and our station staff
will always be happy to help wheelchair passengers board the trains
via ramps. You are advised to check the availability of these
compartments in advance because occasionally they are booked out by
visiting groups.
Occasionally it is necessary for trains to use platforms that
can only be accessed via a footbridge. If you have problems using a
footbridge a member of the station staff will be more than happy to
help you cross the line via the barrow crossing at the end of the
platform.
We have disabled toilets at all stations (with the exception of
Gotherington) and there are dedicated disabled parking spaces
available at Toddington.
If you have any further queries please contact the booking
office on 01242 621405 or via email.
