Short distance trains

Accessible trains and stations

Brisbane and South East Queensland

Priority seating for train travellers using a wheelchair or mobility aid is located just inside the train's doors.

Some Queensland Rail stations have platforms that are slightly higher or lower than the train entry. If you need a portable ramp or help to board or disembark, wait at the assisted boarding point. Assisted boarding points are indicated on the platform by a white wheelchair on a blue background and by a mat with a raised, tactile surface.

Rural and regional Queensland

The North Coast, Great Northern, Central Western and South Western lines have all been upgraded to comply with the accessible public transport standards. To find out more about accessible stations outside the city network call Queensland Rail on 1800 872 467.

Can my assistance dog ride with me on the train?

Yes, as long as the animal is a certified assistance dog and is wearing their 'guide, hearing and assistance dog' badge on their coat or harness. An assistance dog handler card must be carried whenever travelling on public transport with an assistance dog.

For more information, read about travelling with an assistance dog.

Subsidies, concessions and passes

A range of subsidies, concession cards and access passes are available for use throughout Queensland.

There will be no change to concessions on public transport for people with disability when the National Disability Insurance Scheme is introduced in Queensland. Translink will continue to ensure concessions are provided for people with disability travelling on public transport in Queensland.
