All of our trains have a number of designated Priority Seats for people who are disabled, pregnant, or less able to stand. Although anyone can sit in a Priority Seat, we do kindly ask passengers to\u00a0give these up to those who need them the most. Priority Seats are generally found near to the carriage doors and can be identified by Priority Seat signage.<\/p>\n

We know that\u00a0that it isn’t always easy to ask for a seat. Our badges\u00a0are a\u00a0polite reminder\u00a0to fellow passengers to offer you a seat on busier trains. Please note that badges are only issued to those who use the c2c route.
