To make a Passenger Assist booking, including seat reservations with other train operators, please contact them by 10pm the day before your journey. If you are only travelling on their services, you can book with us up to 4 hours ahead for journeys on the same day, providing this is done during contact centre hours (8am - 10pm daily).
If your booking is made online outside of these hours, this will be processed as soon as possible when the contact centre opens.
Don’t forget you can always simply ‘turn up and go’ without booking, so you can still travel if your booking has not been confirmed, and they will do their best to help you on the day.
Please note that other train operating companies may have different contact centre hours for booking assistance.
