Heritage Train Rides

We regret that currently we are unable to offer wheelchair access to our carriages as the door openings are restricted to 55cm.

Wheelchair users must be able to self-transfer onto the passenger carriages to ride on our heritage trains.

As a heritage railway, we are exempt from certain aspects of the Equality Act.
