Access guidance
- At our stations Level access is available from each of the station drives. Our stations have bridges or subways connecting the platforms, but those with walking difficulties or wheelchairs can be escorted by our station staff via a ramped crossing between the platforms. On occasions at Sheffield Park, such access may be blocked by the position of a steam locomotive on the end of its train, and patience may be required. It is therefore advisable to ask our staff to help you cross well before the train is due. Guide Dogs are most welcome on the Bluebell Railway. Train destinations are indicated both visibly with traditional "finger boards" and through audible announcements. Our station staff will be pleased to give visitors any help or assistance that they may require. On our trains One of our carriages has been extensively modified with double-doors, wheelchair lifts and an open saloon. Please give the Sales and Information Office a ring in advance to find out if this wheelchair-accessible saloon is operating, and if so on which train, if more than one is in the timetable. At present wheelchair passengers are also carried in any carriage brake-van, with access via a portable ramp. Thus all of our trains (except when formed of the Observation Car on its own) can carry at least a couple of wheelchairs, but the special saloon provides a much more enjoyable way to travel, and can accommodate larger parties with entirely flexible seating and a panoramic view from the windows.
- Facilities are available on board most trains (not disabled) and at all four stations
- Yes, dogs are welcome at the Bluebell Railway on our standard travel services. Dogs, however, will not be permitted during August 23rd to 29th when Flying Scotsman is running on Bluebell Service Trains.
