The whole of Denmark is well connected by trains which serve major towns and cities throughout Denmark. For the tourist interested in traveling to Denmark by train , bookings should be made about 2 days in advance of the scheduled date of journey so that uncalled for interruptions can be avoided. People across all age groups can take advantage of the train network in Denmark since, platforms and exits have been designed also keeping in mind the disabled. Assistance can be booked over the phone or mail on all days within 8am and 3 pm. For the disabled an aid is generally considered as hand luggage and dogs for the blind are allowed to board the trains. But for the hygienically conscious Danes, dogs have to be allergy-free and they should be kept out of dog-free zones on the trains. The trains are well served with adapted toilets and there are train staff on all trains to help passengers. Lifts are operational for boarding all trains and the red regional trains have special slides for wheelchairs.
The local trains of Copenhagen are called S-trains but these trains do not have assistance for boarding the train but special help is offered by the attendants on these trains to help the disabled. The metro that is operational in Copenhagen is custom made for all whether normal, handicapped or visually impaired. The stations are well served with abundant facilities for all, like the wheelchair bays on forecourts, lifts that are operational from the street level to the platform, ticket dispensers, tunnel stations served by platform doors. The metro has entrance without steps but there are flex areas, warnings like tone and light signal before the opening and closing of doors, door edges served with anti-trapping device, chair without legs to enable space for guide dogs and the names of the station are displayed in the guidemaps within the trains.
