  • Lou when you are waiting on the platform ask the staff where is the best place to sit to access the disabled toilet, also have you checked which platform and does access involve steps?
    If you go down to the woods today you better not go alone.

    Thanks. You are a wee star. ⭐️ 
    I would not have thought to ask the guard about best place to enter train.

    Thanks skinty. 

    I am planning to look into everything. Too tired today. I had a hard fall this morning. 
    From what I can gather it will be drive to station. 
    Get first train & then change at a main line station onto rural line to go so far. Then DS could pick me up. Mind you I am exhausted reading that far less doing it!

    Sorry about the fall, hope you are ok. 

    Once you've done the journey once, it will be easier in future.  It would be good to seek support from the station staff, as it will help take some of the pressure off you.
