Access guidance
- The Swanage Railway welcomes disabled people on its Heritage steam and diesel services that operate from April to October and during the Christmas period. However due to the nature of the types of services operated on the Heritage Railway some mobility scooters cannot be carried. All Swanage Railway station platforms offer step-free access and Disabled access is available to most trains. Wheelchairs are able to be carried in the Guard's Van on most services, and if the passenger has some mobility then they can sit in nearby passenger accommodation rather than travel in the Guard's Van. Our trains have corridor connections between the coaches. A ramp is available at all stations to provide wheelchair access to trains, and our friendly platform staff and train crews will be happy to assist
- No Toilets on station Exept Accessible toilet in local authority car park (200m) at Norden Station
