Is there anything I should know before I take my Guide dog on the bus, train, plane etc?

Buses

Guide dogs are allowed on all buses and there are no restrictions on how many are allowed on at any one time. If you have your guide dog with you on a bus, try to sit in the larger priority seating area where there is more space.

Trains

All dogs are allowed to travel on trains up to a maximum of two dogs per person.

Underground

Trained guide dogs are allowed on London Underground escalators. Staff will help you avoid escalators where possible or stop them to allow you and your dog to walk.

Planes

Guide dogs are allowed to travel in the aircraft cabin with their owner on approved routes and carriers registered to carry guide dogs. For more information contact Guide Dogs on 0118 983 5555.

Ferries

If you’re travelling with a registered guide dog, it’s essential that you notify the ferry operator at the time of booking.
