Some years ago, travelling with my disabled daughter. We decided to take the land train as the website said it was accessible & the rear carriage had a big wheelchair symbol on the side. Each train that came along had the accessible carriage full of folded buggies & prams . When I enquired about getting on I was told to get on the next train so I waited for the next train & was told the same thing.
