Station Road, Alresford S024 9JG
We try to make our railway as accessible as possible, given the nature of our heritage buildings, outdoor areas and rolling stock. However, accessibility is not always feasible and we offer a 'Free Carer' ticket* so that you effectively receive half price travel to compensate for the restricted access to our facilities.
*One FREE carer per registered disabled full fare paying visitor. Free Carer Tickets are NOT available on Real Ale Trains, Dining Trains or Santa Specials, as these are on board the train only and so every visitor receives the same offering and experience.
