just looking at booking some tickets for the Caledonion sleeper

noted on the site that
Manual wheelchair users can now request specially adapted on-board sleeper accommodation when using a Bargain Berth. In addition, a travel companion can accompany you absolutely free.
All disabled bookings must be made no later than 48hrs in advance of travel.


My wife is disabled uses a wheelchair/has a disabled railcard obviously id be going with her does this mean that i travel for nothing?


Does anyone know what the specially adapted on-board sleeper accommodation is like?


Cheers
JIM

    Taking the pee when someone is asking a genuine question about the disabled must be the lowest of the low.
