Mobility: Due to the age and construction of our train it is not possible to board in a wheelchair and some of the platforms on this tour are much shorter than our train which may necessitate walking through a number of carriages when boarding or alighting, in addition the platforms at some remote stations in Scotland are rather low or accessible only by a footbridge. These points should be borne in mind for guests who may have mobility issues.
