While all trains are wheelchair accessible, due to the historic design of carriages with their narrow doors and gangways, some of the carriages' accommodation is not suitable. The SVR has sought to provide wheelchair-accessible adapted carriages with the support of groups on the railway and external bodies. These specially adapted vehicles, which allow wheelchair access, are available on certain trains and can accommodate wheelchairs that are within the dimensions prescribed in government regulations covering public transport (700mm wide by 1200mm long). Disability-friendly toilets are also fitted in some of these vehicles. The SVR issues [https://www.svr.co.uk/pdf/SVR%20Wheelchair%20Guidance%20for%20Passengers.pdf ‘Wheelchair Guidance for Passengers’].
The three complete Mark 1 conversions have all used a luggage door rather than the smaller kitchen door, a one-third width door that was built to that size so an oven tray could be passed through sideways and straight into the oven, which used to sit nearly opposite. 80776 was the first, which used a [[:Category:Carriage Type BG|BG]]. [[:Category: Carriage Type TSO|TSOs]] 4690 and 4399 followed. The Railway tries to, where possible, provide a disabled access toilet rather than just a large vestibule. This isn't however practicable on 9055 and 26880. 4399 and 4690 have one complete seating bay and half of the next one removed from the toilet end, the vestibule walls removed. The door pillars were moved to accommodate a pair of full width doors. This gives a doorway width of just under 4ft to better provide for disabled ramps and the greater size of some wheelchairs. Removing both toilets gives more space for a fully compliant accessible toilet, into which are also fitted baby changing tables. Carefully planned walls have also allowed for buffet trolleys to pass more easily.<ref>[https://www.national-preservation.com/threads/mark-one-door-hinges.1421830/#post-2785445 National preservation 28 December 2022]</ref>
At all stations, excluding [[Northwood Halt]], ramps are available which connect between the train and the platform. The train crew and station staff will assist passengers in wheelchairs if required.
