Describe your requirements
Identify what matters for your journey: step-free travel, walking distance, seating, toilets, sensory conditions or other access needs. Different people need different information.
Transport
Check station entrances, street-to-platform and platform-to-train access, lifts and interchanges. Review current disruptions. An accessible destination does not make every route to it accessible.
The venue
Read the venue's access information and ask about unclear details, equipment, companion arrangements or assistance. Use an official contact rather than inferring access from photographs.
Build a fallback
Keep an alternative route, a place to rest and a realistic return option. Share the plan with companions and allow a margin for assistance or an unavailable lift.
Booking
Confirm arrangements before payment where they affect the visit. Retain written confirmation and relevant contact details. This checklist supports planning rather than guaranteeing that a place meets individual needs.
