CAUTION!
• Before you travel, please contact the appropriate
carrier.
• The travel operator will be able to supply details of
any special requirements/instructions.
12.7 Wheelchairs and train travel within the EU:
If you wish to use your wheelchair on the train, we
recommend that you contact the train operator in
advance when planning your journey.
Railway carriages have provision for a "wheelchair "
space where you can sit on your wheelchair during the
journey.
Please note that the overall length of your wheelchair
may be greater than the available length of the
"wheelchair " space in the railway carriage.
