If you show proof of disability (eg DLA) they put you on their computer.
Then when you phone to book tickets, you just tell them you are on their disabled list and you get a free ticket for a companion.
They are really helpful too. The last time I went, I booked last minute and they had no accessible seats left (I can't use stairs). But they gave us seats in the wheelchair section, even though I'm not a wheelchair user, as they had plenty of seats left there.

I'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.
