The closest railway to Villa park is a 5 to 10 minute walk or wheel away from the stadium and has accessible waiting spaces and other types of signage on both platforms.
Blue and white boxes that feature a white wheelchair logo and the words “for mobility assistance, please wait here” can be found near to where the ramps would normally be housed.
There is also signage mounted to fences and a brick station shelter indicating where to wait should you require assistance to board services home or back into Birmingham city centre.
When supporters arrive back at the station after the match later which kicks off at 12:00 they should head to the dedicated waiting spaces to wait for there train to arrive if requiring assistance.
If you would like to book your assisted travel ahead of time, this can be done up to 2 hours before departure in 1 of 3 ways:
By Phone: 0800 024 8998 or by using Next Generation Text – 18001 0800 024 8998.
Online: https://booking.passengerassistance.com.
By using the App: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/passenger-assistance/id1542190496.
However you do have a legal right to just turn up and go without booking any assistance prior to travel.
