Travel Intelligence for Every Body
Rail travel is the most accessible form of long-distance transportation — in theory. In practice, finding accessible car locations, step-free boarding routes, working elevator status and seat dimension data requires hours of research across a dozen different carrier websites. RailEndex does it once and keeps it current.
The data they never published.
On most trains, accessible spaces are in specific cars. RailEndex records the car number or position for wheelchair spaces, priority seating and accessible toilets so you can board at the right door.
Whether step-free boarding is available at all stops on a route, which stations require ramp assistance, advance notice requirements and whether ramp assistance is guaranteed or request-based.
Step-free routes exist on paper. Elevator outages make them inaccessible. RailEndex records historical elevator reliability scores for major stations and alternative step-free route options when elevators fail.
Seat width at armrest, seat pitch, armrest type (fixed/moveable), table tray width and whether seats in accessible sections have adequate space for larger bodies or mobility equipment.
Every major rail network has an assisted travel system. RailEndex records how far in advance assistance must be booked, what is included in the assistance service and whether last-minute requests are accepted.
CPAP machine policies, portable oxygen concentrator rules, power wheelchair battery type restrictions, luggage rack weight limits and whether medical documentation is required for any equipment.
