Make access part of the plan from the beginning

Arrival linked to touring
A station collection can connect with the start of your private heritage route.
Start with the pace and access your group needs
Your day should not depend on keeping up with an unrelated group. We travel from Langholm to serve Melrose through pre-arranged station collection, heritage guiding and private itineraries shaped around disabled travellers. Before the tour, we discuss walking tolerance, rest breaks, transfers and the accessibility of intended stops. Guide dogs and other assistance dogs are welcomed as part of your party. With up to six people in the licensed vehicle, the route can reflect your own needs rather than a fixed coach timetable.
Coordinate arrival details with the planned route
Please share your train information or agreed meeting point, passenger numbers and mobility requirements before travelling. For a Melrose itinerary, we consider the amount of walking, likely time at each stop and where rests fit naturally. We don't assume every place or arrangement is accessible to every guest, so specific information helps us discuss what may be suitable. Historical interpretation and travel can then follow a pace established from the outset, with the return or onward stage included in the plan.
Frequently asked questions
Can an assistance dog join our Melrose tour?
Yes. We permit guide dogs and other assistance dogs. Include the dog in your enquiry alongside passenger numbers, arrival details and mobility requirements so we can consider the complete touring group.
How do you plan around limited walking tolerance?
Tell us how far and how long you can comfortably walk, along with transfer and rest needs. We use that information when considering stop choices, timing and the order of the private itinerary.
Can you collect us after a train journey?
Yes, we can arrange a station pickup in advance. Share your station and train details, arrival time, luggage, group size and agreed destination so the collection and any guided touring can be coordinated.
