Europe Rail Travel

pburf22

Hey all,
My husband and I are planning a trip beginning of June to Europe. Taking the Eurostar to Amsterdam, then trains to Germany, Paris, etc.
My husband is registered disabled, and is a blue badge holder.
Is there such a thing as cheaper rail tickets for disabled passengers, or a free carer ticket, for example?
Don't want to book full price fares if we could potentially get a reduced ticket.
Thanks for any help

Forgot to mention, we have got reduced prices for the Eurostar already.
And my husband is not in a wheelchair, but has mobility issues.

Seat61 has a page that is wheelchair-focussed but does include mention of other disabilities:

Depending on what you are doing in Germany and your dates, there is a 49 euro ticket on the trains that covers you for a calendar month. It includes some local buses, trams, etc. May be worth looking at to see if it suits you.

I went to Amsterdam last month and contacted Eurostar first to ask about any discount with my Senior Railcard but was told that there wasn't any. I can't be sure about the Disabled one but suspect it is the same.

I think interrail do a free caregiver pass so you could look at whether that would be worthwhile. Otherwise I think each country has different provision (like UK disabled person railcard)
