Accessibility Statement: we have totally refurbished our toilets over the last two years of lockdown restrictions but are yet to start work on our dedicated disabled toilet facilities. We apologise in advance for the lack of fully accessible toilet facilities but there is an access ramp to the building and it is all on one level. Blue badge parking is available and our marshalls will direct you. The buffet car is a 1930's coach which is not able to be adapted for disabled use but the staff can bring your order to a seating area on the station platform.
Dog Access: Barras the Station Cat will be in residence. He welcomes visitors but is wary of dogs and tends to lash out to them if they are on long leads. Well behaved dogs on short leashes can be accomodated and our volunteers will keep him calm. Please be aware this will be a busy event and nervous dogs may find it stressful. Only assistance dogs are allowed to access the buffet car with their humans.
