Question

Is it possible to take a 4 wheeled electric scooter on the train?

Answer 1

if you make arrangements well in advance,   they might let you ride in a guards car, normally at the rear.  you can only ask

Answer 2

Yes if it will fit, But you will probably get kicked off at peak times

Answer 3

Yes but it's best to phone up beforehand

Answer 4

You will have to ask in advance and book a place with the train guard, however at peak times this might not be possible.

Answer 5

The carriage of Mobility Scooters is at the discretion of the Train Company, so you would need to contact them in advance to ask.

Customer Service phone numbers for all train companies can be found on the National Rail website.

Answer 6

I dont see why not. But i would check with your train operater  first, you might need to book in advance though.

Answer 7

Yes but you have to make an advanced booking

Answer 8

Yes it is possible. Advise the railroad/railway in advance. However, if the aisles are too narrow you wouldn't be able to use it, and it would travel as baggage.

Answer 9

Depends on size, but it's often possible.  You need to check with the train operator, on some services it just isn't possible. Probably requires booking.

Answer 10

The Official answer is No . Basically if a wheelchair is bigger than a standard push wheel chair or it is not capable of being folded up then it does not travel. In practise it tends to be a little different. If the train is off peak and not too full then the guards tend to let them travel but it is very much at their discretion if they feel OK then they may let it travel. To be certain though you would be better getting a push wheel chair and getting some assistance from a train travel point of view

Answer 11

yes its the law, if you have problems report it.

Answer 12

maybe if you are unable to get out of mobile you may have to travel where the post and packages travel

Answer 13

yeah but you may have to see guard to get it into luggage carriage

Answer 14

I bloody hope not its bad enough with em all over the highstreet. Whats next taking them on a bus?

Answer 15

Generally I would say yes, But as others have suggested it would be wise to contact the railroads involved before hand. In Canada all our passenger and commuter trains are assessable as well as commuter buses and scheduled city buses,plus many taxi cabs
