Train travel for disabled passengers
When planning your trip, bear in mind that the standard of disabled facilities on trains and at stations around Europe varies. Special equipment can sometimes be reserved in advance. Read up on what to expect in the
Destinations & stations
and
European routes and trains
sections of this site.
What about disabled seating?
Some of Europe's more modern trains have special onboard areas for disabled passengers.
To travel in these spaces you'll need to book a ticket in advance. For advice and to book tickets, phone the Rail Europe
call centre
or visit our
London Travel Centre
.
Useful travel information
Taking your bike
Almost all European trains allow bikes folded in a bike bag with the saddle, handlebars and wheels removed. And, as long as it's no bigger than a normal suitcase, it'll be covered as part of your luggage allowance. Check our train pages for more information.
If you can't fit your bike into a bike bag, some trains also have bicycle spaces.
These must be pre-booked at the same time as you book your passenger ticket.
To make your booking along with a bicycle space, phone the Rail Europe
call centre
or visit our
London Travel Centre
.
Useful travel information
Special dietary requirements
There's a choice of meals on the Eurostar for Business Premier and Standard Premier passengers. Special meal requests must be indicated at time of booking. Please note, a minimum of 24 hours’ notice is required for any Vegetarian or Child meals, and 48 hours for all other Dietary requests. You can find out more about the food served on trains in the
European routes and trains
sections of this site.
For further advice on the above and to book tickets, phone the Rail Europe
call centre

Seat reservations for InterRail pass holders
Please note that a reservation alone is NOT VALID FOR TRAVEL unless used alongside a valid InterRail pass.
If you already have a valid InterRail pass, or are planning to buy one, selecting 'Reservation' allows you to pre-book a seat on a specific train.
Why do I need to make a seat reservation when I already have an InterRail pass?
Seat reservations are compulsory on most high speed and overnight trains and are not included in the price of an InterRail pass. Find out more in our
