Group Description
Connect with train travelers to share tips on accessible rail journeys, station navigation, and inclusive experiences on trains worldwide. Whether you’re boarding Japan’s Shinkansen, exploring Europe by Eurail, riding the Rocky Mountaineer in Canada, or taking scenic routes across Australia, this is the place to ask about seating options, boarding assistance, or accessible facilities – someone here has likely experienced it before. You’ll find personal stories, first-hand reviews, and recommendations for cultural, nature, and long-distance train adventures. This group welcomes all accessibility needs, helping you enjoy a more accessible rail travel experience.
