Llanberis Lake Railway - the only heritage railway to feature in the new Rough Guide to Accessible Britain.

The Rough Guide to Accessible Britain is newly published by Rough Guides in association with the disabled charity Motability. It features 100 places to visit in the UK which are accessible to disabled persons, and gives a fully researched independent view of each attraction. The Llanberis Lake Railway is proud to be the only heritage railway to feature in the Guide. The railway's trains have specially adapted wheelchair carriages which will accommodate up to five wheelchairs or scooters and give the occupants a 360 degree view of the spectacular Snowdonia scenery. Access throughout the stations is level or ramped, and as the carriage floors are at the same height as the platforms getting in and out of the trains is simplicity itself.

A copy of our Access Statement is available on request.
