Passenger Assist: plan the whole rail journey, not only the London platform
Passenger Assist can organise help across a rail journey, including changes. It is worth discussing the complete route rather than treating each operator as a separate puzzle.
Describe the assistance needed
National Rail explains help including boarding, ramps and connections.
Non-visible impairments can be relevant too. Give the actual route and practical need rather than assuming a staff member can infer them from a ticket.

Assistance and travel are separate bookings
A confirmation of help is not a train ticket.
Keep both records and check how to meet staff. Read the current request arrangements and leave time to clarify any transfer that is essential to the journey.
Be realistic about luggage
The service is not an unlimited porter arrangement; its guidance sets limits on what one person can manage.
This guide has not booked assistance or guaranteed a particular station’s facilities. Confirm the actual plan with the rail provider.

Where is the next toilet? Put the map into the London day plan
TfL’s toilet information can make a London itinerary more practical. Check the facility itself, not only whether a station has a toilet symbol beside its name.
Lost something on transport? Start with the operator and the date
A lost-property search is easier when the route, time and item are specific. Different transport modes have different first contacts; one central form is not always the fastest start.
