Does buying a ticket with my Railcard make the train company aware that I will need assistance?
NoIf you require assistance to get on or off your train then you must book it in advance.

If you are booking online, then it is likely that you will need to arrange assistance with the train company with whom you are travelling. For contact details of all train companies, see our Assisted Travel section of the National Rail website.
