The UK is set to make rail travel more inclusive by widening eligibility for the Disabled Persons Railcard. The updated criteria will support passengers with both visible and non-visible disabilities, offering greater access to discounted journeys. Through a phased rollout in 2026, the scheme simplifies applications, aligns evidence requirements, and reflects modern accessibility needs. These improvements aim to create a friendlier, fairer rail network that offers affordable and stress-free travel for more people nationwide.
