Help if you need a seat
Do you struggle to stand on the train, but feel awkward asking someone to give up their seat?
If you’re pregnant, disabled, over 65 or have a child under 3 or baby on board you could be entitled to priority seating.
There are priority seats on all of our trains, usually near the doors and marked with a ‘P’ sign.
Simply show your Priority Seat Card to someone sitting in one of these seats to make it clear you need it.
