Cross Country Trains travel assistance

Overview

Travel Assistance

We're here to help when you need extra assistance when making your journey.

We want everyone to travel with confidence. That is why, if you are planning on travelling on national rail services, you can request an assistance booking in advance - now up to 2 hours before your journey is due to start, any time of the day.

What if I can't book Passenger Assist in advance?

We understand that sometimes life can't always be planned ahead, and we'll still do our best to provide the same level of help in those circumstances - just make the station and train staff aware when you arrive at your departure station.
