Overview
Ramped access onto Bo'ness station and easy access onto the trains. there was plenty of space on the coaches. On the day itself there were understandably a lot of visitors, so perhaps not the best time for a railway enthusiast to visit!
Transport & Parking
There is a car park at the station with plenty of space. Be warned - Bo'ness is quite a hilly place and the road we took that lead to the station from the bus stop was extremely steep. If you're thinking of travelling to the Bo'ness end of the railway via public transport, before visiting I'd recommend researching local buses/taxi firms if you're a wheelchar user, or would struggle with steep inclines.
Access
As with a lot of steam railways the stations and trains are spacious and fully accessible - ramps are available to assist wheelchair users onto the trains if needed.
Toilets
Did not use
Staff
Super helpful and friendly on what was likely a very demanding day for them!
Anything else you wish to tell us?
There is a lovely little model railway inside a refurbished coach - there are ramps to and from this great little feature, though inside it's very narrow.

There is also a museum visit included in the ticket price! Path a bit dodgy, a few steps inside to get up close to some of the engines.
