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.

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.
