Passengers with Reduced Mobility

At FlixTrain we strive to provide a pleasant journey for all our passengers. For this reason, we make sure to adapt our services and trains to accommodate passengers with reduced mobility as well. On this page, you find useful information on how you can register your assistance needs prior to your trip with us.

If you do not need assistance around the station and can get on and off the train by yourself, you can book your ticket as usual without contacting our Customer Service.

If you would like to travel with your wheelchair or walking aids on the train, please book your ticket by contacting our Customer Service at least 48 hours before your departure date.

On board, we have accessible toilets and designated seating areas for passengers traveling in a wheelchair.

  • Germany: The maximum allowed dimensions of the wheelchair is 70 cm x 120 cm and maximum weight is 350 kg.
    DB Station & Service is responsible for providing a platform lift for passengers traveling with a wheelchair.
  • Sweden: The maximum allowed dimensions of the wheelchair is 79 cm x 120 cm and maximum weight is 350 kg.
    Please keep in mind that there is a height difference from the platform up to the entrance of the train and we do not offer a wheelchair lift. You must be able to get onboard on your own or with the help of a accompanying assistant (more info about station assistance can be found here).

If you need assistance at the station but can manage the actual journey on your own, you can request for station assistance to help you. Please see country specifications below:
