"From the station entrance, access is via the station subway and an unavoidable flight of 18 steps leading into the Railway Centre. This is the only access route.
Once inside the Centre there is level access to most areas.
We recognise that the steps leading to our current entrance limit access to the Centre. We ask visitors to contact us on 01235 817200 or by e-mail in advance of their visit to discuss access needs. We have our own wheelchairs for visitors’ use if they can climb the stairs with our help.
We are currently considering options for improving access in the future. We have designed a ramp and are seeking grants to help with the large capital sum needed to undertake this major construction work."

Directions
"The entrance to the Railway Centre is through the ticket hall and original steam age subway of Didcot Parkway railway station.
Please advise the GWR ticket barrier staff at the mainline station that you are visiting Didcot Railway Centre and they will open the barriers to allow you access. (You will need to show your Railway Centre tickets when you exit the main station after your visit).
Walk straight through the modern subway and continue into the original subway, built to allow enginemen to get to work at the locomotive shed. The old-style flight of stairs leading from the subway will take you to the Railway Centre entrance and ticket office.
Visitors with limited mobility and wheelchair users should consult our Accessibility Page when planning a visit and call 01235 817200 for further information.
Didcot is 53 miles west of London, 10 miles south of Oxford and almost halfway between London and Bristol on Brunel's original Great Western Railway."
