Most Amtrak stations are accessible and all trains have at least one car with seating for one or two wheelchairs and an accessible restroom. On trains that have sleeper coaches, each car has one compartment that is accessible and has an accessible private bath. There are two styles of sleeper cars so specifics of individual compartments will vary depending on the equipment used on a particular route. This information is available from reservations. Although wheelchair users cannot freely move between the cars, meals will be delivered to the passenger.
Service dogs are welcome and the use of oxygen while on board can be arranged.
The Travelin' Talk network is a global network of persons with disabilities that have joined together to assist each other with access information and resources about their communities. In June's newsletter we told you about a company that will be renting accessible vans in Florence, Italy. Actually they also rent cars with hand controls. I actually scrambled some of the facts on the two different types of rentals. The first is about the good and the bad that a couple of experienced cruisers experienced on their last cruise.
