Accessibility at stations

Check the available measures and stations that offer Adif Acerca

The Adif Acerca support service is the free assistance service that Adif offers to passengers with disabilities or reduced mobility, whichever railway company they are using. The service means their journey through stations is simpler, and it makes it easier to get on and off the train.
Who can request Adif Acerca?

The service is available to passengers with disabilities (motor, visual, hearing, or cognitive) and passengers with reduced mobility, including seniors, people with strollers, and pregnant women—traveling on high-speed, long-distance, or medium-distance trains operated by any railway company in the Spanish rail network.

 
How, when, and where to request Adif Acerca

When buying tickets through railway company ticket sales channels and in person at 70 Adif stations. At these 70 stations, after buying a ticket, assistance can be requested up to minutes before the train departs. In the other 76, at least twelve hours' notice is required (see complete list of stations).

Requests for assistance for international trips starting in any of the stations with the Adif Acerca Service to European countries that are part of the International Union of Railways (UIC) must be made at least 48 hours prior to the departure of the train at the station of origin, by emailing oca.asistenciapmr@adif.es or by calling 917744040 between 6 am and midnight.

More than 600 mobility assistants provide the Adif Acerca service at 146 railway stations with high-speed, medium-, and long-distance trains. These professionals are easily identifiable thanks to their distinctive orange uniforms. They are trained to assist passengers with disabilities and reduced mobility.

If necessary, mobility aids such as wheelchairs and platform lifts are available, and in 70 stations, the service also includes Svisual, a video interpretation system in sign language.
