Accessible trains

All metropolitan trains are wheelchair-accessible via a manual ramp deployed by the driver from the front carriage.

Passengers who need assistance 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 assist you off the train. It is best to write your destination on a note which you can collect from the station office before you travel. If you are at an unstaffed station, you can use your own note.
