Our Sensory Carriage is designed to create a calm and comfortable experience. It is for children and adults who may benefit from a quieter environment. We keep lighting low, reduce noise where possible, and offer plenty of space to settle in before the train departs.
Our dedicated sensory support team will be on hand throughout your visit. You can spot us easily in blue hi-vis vests and we are always happy to help.
