Rail passengers using Birmingham New Street Station can now use a new assisted travel lounge which opened on the 10th June 2019.
The lounge was provided by Network Rail as part of their ‘Railway Upgrade Plan’ and was designed with the guidance of Birmingham New Street’s accessibility forum, which includes people with disabilities, their carers and advocates, to ensure the space meets the needs of all. The space is intended to be welcoming and includes 24 seats at different heights, a water bowl for service dogs and a team on hand to assist (Thank you to Network Rail for providing the main photos).
