In acknowledging and reflecting upon the infrastructure barriers faced by blind and partially sighted travellers at UK train stations, this article focuses on the unique interplay between infrastructure and experience, and how the opportunities and limitations that arise from potential barriers influence the overall experience of travel. Recommendations are made for new research at a critically important time in UK rail policy, and the importance of representing the real experiences of sight-impaired travellers in both policy and practice, with a view to providing accessible rail stations for all, is stressed.
