Need a priority seat for your journey? West Midlands Railway operates a Priority Seating Cards scheme, where you can apply for a card in advance and show it once you’re on the train. This is available to elderly, disabled or pregnant passengers, as well as people travelling with young children. It’s worth noting that there are no on-board catering services on any West Midlands Railway services, so we’d advise getting something to eat at Euston before you get on the train or bringing your own food.
