Working with ATOC and other train operation companies, we support the Journey Planner on the National Rail Enquiries (NRE) website at www.nationalrail.co.uk. Entitled: ‘Stations Made Easy’, it gives passengers access to station information, diagrams of the station and photographs of key installations. This facility enables passengers to view station facilities and to plan their journeys according to their disability. Please visit www.nationalrail.co.uk for more details. The National Rail Enquiry Service is available 24 hours, every day on 03457 48 49 5; the company also provides a handy textphone service on 0845 60 50 600
