Show Notes
In this episode of the Dementia together podcast, we learn about the UK's first dementia-friendly railway line.
The Bentham Line runs from the hubbub of Leeds to the seaside resort of Morecambe, past miles of incredible scenery. Yet it's no quaint heritage ride, but a fully functioning rail link.
We meet the people who've been making the experience of travelling by rail better for people affected by dementia, and the wonderful opportunities this has created.
You can visit alzheimers.org.uk/publications for our range of publications designed to support and inform anyone affected by dementia.
For personalised information and advice, call our Dementia Support Line on 0333 150 3456, or for Welsh speakers call 03300 947 400.
