Wheelchairs (up to a certain size), folded prams, carrycots and bicycles are all allowed on our trains.Find out more about bikes on board.

You can also bring dogs, cats and other small animals (maximum two per passenger) as long as they don’t endanger or inconvenience other customers or staff.

If you have excess luggage, or bulky items over one metre in length, we may be able to carry these for an additional charge, subject to available space. During engineering work, you can’t bring any large objects on replacement bus services.
