Accessible trains

All metropolitan trains are wheelchair-accessible. The driver will help you board the train by placing a ramp between the platform and the first door of the front carriage.

Passengers who need help boarding trains should wait on the platform near the front of the train. On a metropolitan platform, this is marked with a yellow or white rectangle on the pavement.

When you reach your destination station, the driver will use a ramp to help you off the train.

To help the driver, it is best to write your destination on a note. At Premium Stations you can get a note from the customer service centre before you travel. If you are at an unstaffed station, you can use your own note.

For information about mobility aid specifications (including wheelchairs, scooters or motorised vehicles), see mobility aids.
