Allocated spaces for mobility devices are in the first or third carriage in three-car trains. In six-car trains this is the first or third, and fourth or sixth carriage. There are also restraining straps available in allocated spaces for customers using a mobility device, to use please secure the velcro strap around the arm or part of the structure of the mobility device. This is to help with extra stability whilst onboard.
Emergency help points
All trains are fitted with onboard emergency help points. They can be found inside every door and in the allocated spaces. If you need assistance in an emergency, please press the button to speak to the train crew.

On the IMU 160 there are customer/disability assistance points for disability assistance in the allocated spaces. When activated you will speak to the train guard for assistance, such as arranging assisted disembarking.
If you are unable to activate the emergency help or customer/disability assistance points please ask another passenger for assistance to press the button and/or speak through the intercom.
