The standard of disabled facilities on trains and at stations around Europe varies. You’ll find specific details in the Destinations & stations and European routes and trains sections of this site.
In general, major city stations are fully wheelchair accessible. When notified in advance, train company and station staff can help with boarding and alighting.
Modern, high speed trains usually have spaces allocated for wheelchair users (plus a companion), close to accessible restroom facilities.
Such spaces are limited though, so it’s best to book well in advance if you can.
For advice about any aspect of European rail travel and to book a wheelchair space, please call us on 08448 484 064 (open weekdays 9am – 7pm, Saturday 9am – 6pm) or drop into the Rail Europe Travel Centre in London.
