West Coast rail provider has engineered a new offering for the
younger passengers to make journeys as
fun as possible and to ensure the parents also have a
hassle free trip.
Emergency PacksContaining all parents need including
disposable nappies, nappy sacks, baby wipes,
baby milk and disposable bibs - they will be
available in times of emergencies such as
during delays and shortages or in case
busy parents have forgotten those
essentials! Contact a member of the
On Board Team in the case of such an
emergency.

waiting rooms and including a play table and wall panels the
Vkids Corners allow children to
