Virtual reality simulation to play part in more accessible railway

The first of its kind, the technology will allow passengers to explore their journey and the support they require in advance, from the comfort of their own home.  Users will be able to experience trains, stations and interact with station and on-board staff in a realistic simulated environment on their own phones, tablets and PCs or even in low cost VR headsets for a fully immersive experience.  They can take simulated journeys and experience the railway environment, as well as the support Northern staff will provide along the way.
