'It shows what can be achieved' – Dementia together podcast June 2025
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.
