The Byron Solar Train operates a two-car heritage 660 series rail motor. The threshold width on the passenger doorways is 660mm. This is wide enough to fit most non-motorised wheelchairs, however, some motorised wheelchairs will not fit through these doors. The narrow width between the train seats are a further restriction however passengers in wheelchairs are able to ride in the entrance vestibule.
