You can request assistance when travelling to a festival by train through Passenger Assistance.

Festival travel can involve busy trains, crowded stations, luggage and onward travel from the station.

Passenger Assistance can help you request support before your journey.

Planning your festival journey

Before you travel, check your route, train times and return options.

You may also want to check whether your journey involves changing trains or using a shuttle service after arriving.

Passenger Assistance can support the train part of your journey.
