Accessibility on our network

First Capital Connect is committed to offering quality assistance to customers with reduced mobility or other requirements in planning and making their train journey.

Our trained staff are able to assist customers with their journey requirements but we ask that arrangements are made at least 24 hours in advance so we can help you to find your nearest accessible train station, plan the easiest route to your destination, and book your train tickets.

If you wish to have your tickets posted to you we need three working days notice in order to ensure they arrive with you on time.

Many of our stations have a 'fast ticket' machine, which allows you to print your tickets at the station.

This service is available for any journey in Great Britain, whether you are finishing you journey at a First Capital Connect station, or one operated by a different train company.

We also work closely with Herts Action on Disability (HAD) who provide our 'Station to Station Accessible Transport' scheme.

We would ask that you complete our online Assisted Travel contact form and we promise to reply to your request within 4 hours.
