Travelling with a motor disability

Travelling with a motor disability? We'll help make your journey as pleasant as possible. All our Sprinter trains are equipped with a telescopic ramp. What's more, you can request NS Travel Assistance for free to have someone help you get on and off the train. This page tells you everything you need to know about travelling with a motor disability, split into three topics: preparing your journey at home, at the station, and on the train. You'll also find everything you need to know about bringing disability aids onto the train, the OV-begeleiderskaart and NS Travel Assistance.
