7.3 Special transit requirements

Using your wheelchair on the train.
Before you travel, please contact the train operator. They will be
able to supply details of any special requirements/instructions.
We advise you to check the following:
• Is there a suitable and intended "wheelchair" area in the train
for wheelchair users (with adequate turning space to
maneuver)?
• Is there a suitable or designated area on the platform for
wheelchair users (with adequate turning space to maneuver)?
• Is there suitable boarding access available to allow you to
access the railway carriage and the intended "wheelchair"
area?
• Is the boarding access suitable for the combined mass of the
wheelchair and the occupant?
• Make sure the slope of the boarding access is not greater than
the dynamic safe slope. (See Section 10)
• Any obstacles or thresholds should not exceed the max curb
climbing capability of your wheelchair. (See Section 10)
Most train operators will provide assistance provided that
arrangements have been made in advance. We suggest you
have you User Manual ready when planning your journey and
contact them.
WARNING!
• While driving on a boat or train, make sure that you use a
driving profile without GYRO activated. The continuous
movement of a boat or train, disrupts the Gyro system and
the driving characteristics of your wheelchair.
NOTE- Gyro technology is for maintaining the desired drive
direction irrespective of the external forces acting on the
wheelchair.

Parts of the wheelchair that can easily be detached should
be removed when transporting the wheelchair. Store these
parts securely. E.g.:
