Wheelchair and mobility scooter users
You are welcome to take your wheelchair or mobility scooter on our trains. However, for safety reasons, there are limits to the size and weight that can be carried. Generally the following will apply:
- Wheelchairs and scooters must be no more than 120cm long and 70cm wide. Including the weight of the user, they must not weigh more than 300kg.
- If the wheelchair or scooter is too large or heavy, our station staff will be unable to let you on the train.
- If there is a gap between the train and the platform, we will use an approved access ramp to bridge the gap. Our staff are trained to use the ramp and will help you onto the train. You must be able to steer your scooter up and down the ramp as our staff cannot do this for you.

Priority seat badges
All of our trains have a number of designated Priority Seats for people who are disabled, pregnant, or less able to stand. Although anyone can sit in a Priority Seat, we do kindly ask passengers to give these up to those who need them the most. Priority Seats are generally found near to the carriage doors and can be identified by Priority Seat signage.
We know that that it isn’t always easy to ask for a seat. Our badges are a polite reminder to fellow passengers to offer you a seat on busier trains. Please note that badges are only issued to those who use the c2c route.
It isn’t always obvious when someone is less able to stand, which is why we offer a Priority Seat badge. Check to see if you or someone you know is eligible for a badge through our criteria below, then download the application form or pick one up from your local station.

Alternatively, follow the link below to apply via a web form:
https://www.c2c-online.co.uk/help-feedback/passenger-assist/priority-seat-badges/

Suitable evidence may take the form of:
• Doctor’s note confirming disability or medical condition

• Written confirmation from Jobcentre Plus
• Letter from Department for Work and Pensions
• Certificate of Incapacity Benefit
• Social Services official stamp (on application form or other paper)
• Certificate of Visual Impairment (CVI), BP1 Certificate (Scotland) or BD8 Certificate for being registered blind or partially-sighted
