At GWR, we're making the railway accessible to everyone. We want to make sure that everyone in our community is confident using a train.

We have a dedicated accessibility team that focuses on improving mobility, accessibility, and inclusion at GWR.
We also have a group of volunteers, who work with our accessibility team. Our volunteers have different roles across the railway and beyond, including GWR, Network Rail, community partners, and local councils.
Together, they deliver our Try a Train events, making sure your group learns everything they need to know about travelling on our trains.
If you are interested in booking a Try a Train event or finding out more, you can email accessibilitymentors@gwr.com.
Our dedicated team will build a journey or programme for your group.
