It’s not always possible, or desirable to book your journey in advance and you may prefer to organise this yourself. If this applies to you, here are some key points to consider before you start your journey:
The Disability Aboard website, run by the Association of Train Operators (ATOC) has a handy list of travel tips, including things like how to avoid the barriers at stations and how accessible the station is. This can help with planning how to get in and around the station.
If you are unsure whether your Quingo meets the criteria, or if you have any other train travel queries, we recommend contacting National Rail Enquiries on 08457 48 49 50. They will be able to provide you with up to date travel and accessibility information.

You already know how easy it is to get out and about on your Quingo, but did you know that more and more people with limited mobility are now travelling by train?
The government’s ‘Railways for All’ strategy came into effect in 1998 and has already gone some way to improving the rail travel experience. This means it’s now easier than ever to take your Quingo on a train and by 2020, the government aims to have a totally accessible rail fleet.
The regulations regarding travelling by train with your Quingo vary, so it’s important to check with your train company for full information. The National Rail website has a comprehensive list of all Train Operators.
By far the easiest way to plan your journey is to make use of the Passenger Assistance scheme. This free service is provided by train companies to anyone who needs help with any part of their journey.
Staff can help you to plan your journey, book your tickets, make reservations and assist you at the station and when boarding trains. They will make sure that you have the assistance you need at each point in your journey, even if this involves multiple train companies.
Bookings should be made at least 24 hours in advance, this gives the train company time to provide you with the best possible experience on the day.
To book, you need to contact the train company you are using for the first leg of your journey. You can find contact details on the National Rail website, or if you prefer, you can call National Rail Enquiries on 08457 48 49 50 and an operator will connect you to the Passenger Assistance team for your route.
It’s not always possible or desirable to make a booking in advance. Look out for our next post, which provides tips on how to plan and book your journey yourself.
We want you to have the best possible experience when using your Quingo and hope you have found this blog post useful.

The Quingo team want to help you to improve your mobility and overall wellbeing whilst helping you to keep active and get out and about. With this in mind we want to highlight some gentle and effective exercises you can do whilst seated on your Quingo.*
As a Quingo scooter user, you’re already sitting in the best anatomical position which will help to prevent aches and pains from sitting down too long. If you also want to keep active while on your scooter here are some gentle exercises to help improve circulation and reduce stiffness.
Start slowly and increase your activity level little by little. You’ll soon start to reap the benefits.
Here are a few quick and gentle exercises you can perform on your Quingo:
Staying active can help to reduce stiffness in muscles and can go a long way towards improving blood circulation, which will also help you to keep warm. Just a few minutes exercise a day can make a noticeable difference to your overall wellbeing.
*Please do not attempt any of these exercises whilst driving your Quingo. Make sure the engine is turned off, the key is removed, and that you have enough room to do the exercises without coming into contact with anything around you.
