Four stations across south London have had new 3D maps created to help improve journeys for disabled passengers using them.

In total, 10 stations across Thameslink, Southern, Great Northern and the Gatwick Express now have the addition of new three-dimensional maps created to help disabled people navigate stations – including the 4 in south London.

These maps, designed with accessibility in mind, have been created to help disabled passengers pinpoint stairs, lifts and ticket gates using bespoke aerial maps.

These maps can be accessed on mobile devices and computers and feature colour-coded accessible routes, steps and the different levels to stations, and can be found on the GTR website.

“We’re really pleased to introduce these new maps as part of our commitment to create a more inclusive and accessible railway. Together with other helpful guides on the assisted travel pages of our websites, they'll help people plan a smooth and stress-free journey.”
