All Transport for Wales trains comply with all the relevant legislation relating to accessibility for Persons of Reduced Mobility. Our £800million investment in rolling stock includes trains with level boarding, dedicated wheelchair spaces and have improved visual and verbal passenger information systems. Transport for Wales offer Assisted Travel supporting passengers to travel independently on the railway which includes guidance in stations and help to get on and off the train where needed.
