Information for Disabled Visitors

 

The Gwili Steam Railway is a tourist railway run entirely by volunteers and is often called the ‘Friendly Line’. We pride ourselves on being helpful to all and will do what we can to make your visit enjoyable.

 

Due to the nature of our operation, some aspects contain areas which are not accessible to wheelchair users. If you have a specific requirement, please telephone beforehand, so that the Booking Clerk is aware of your visit. We will make the necessary arrangements for you.

 

The Railway is approached off the B4301 road approximately 300m from its junction with the A484. Entry to the Railway is adjacent to the Signal Box.

 

There are three dedicated disabled parking places to the left as you enter

the Car Park.
