What to do when you get to the station
If you’ve booked station assistance in advance, a member of the team will be there to meet you at the station. If you haven’t had the chance to book, let our staff know what you need, and they’ll do the best they can to help.
There may be a delay if you haven’t booked help beforehand, so try to allow extra time for your journey. If you arrive at the station for your journey and nobody is around, contact us using the help point or give us a call.
