Train operator c2c has launched a new Accessible Travel Policy which gives details on making rail travel accessible for all.

Detailed in a new leaflet called ‘Making Rail Accessible’ in has information about train and station facilities along with information on fares and ticketing, as well as mobility information for those using mobility scooters and wheelchairs, assistance dogs or passengers travelling with a companion.

The policy also has details of the improvement schemes for Southend East, Chalkwell and Grays railway stations.

Jill Allen-King O.B.E, pictured above, who travels with her assistance dog on c2c services, said: “As a totally blind person, I cannot see the help point or staff to ask for help. But I have always been helped whenever I travel by the c2c staff”.

At the moment, passengers who need to book assistance can do so 4 hours before travelling and this will be improved and reduced to just 2 hours from April 2022

The new leaflet can be downloaded here from the c2c website, it can also be obtained in other formats from stations or by contacting the c2c Customer Relations team.
