Travelling around the UK

Featured

  1. Travelling around the UK – Trains
    One of the best ways to travel around the UK is by using the rail network. The UK train network is extensive and is a great way to cut down on your carbon footprint. Each train company has their own accessibility policy and some will require you to book assistance when planning your journey, while others will have porters available at the station on hand to help you every step of the way.
  2. Travelling around the UK – Buses, Coaches & Taxis
    In the UK those that are registered disabled can travel for free across the country using the bus network. Passes are issued by your local council and can be used anywhere in England.
  3. Travelling around the UK – Airports
    Different airlines and airports have different facilities for disabled people. If you have a sensory, physical or learning disability that affects your mobility, you have the right to help at various points around the airport, including; check ins, moving around the site and boarding the plane. You also have the right to help because of your age or for temporary illness or injury. Mobility aids also do not count towards your luggage allowance
  4. Travelling around the UK – Ferries
    Ferries to help you get to the Channel Islands, the Isle of Wight, around cities and other areas outside of the UK mainland are run by private companies, all of which have their own accessibility facilities and policies. Many of the UK's ports and docks have been adapted to make it easier for guests using wheelchairs and other mobility devices, though we recommend speaking to the ferry company you intend to travel with to confirm their policy.
