Accessibility

article by: webmaster

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.
