Free Baby on Board badges are being provided to pregnant mothers by East Midlands Railway.

Staff suggested that the badges would be a quick way to signal a passenger’s condition and encourage others to offer up their seat.

Passengers interested in the badges need to contact East Midlands Railway for more information.

“We want pregnant customers to feel as comfortable as possible when travelling with us. But we understand that offering a seat to someone who may be pregnant can sometimes feel awkward or uncertain. The ‘Baby on Board’ badge provides a clear, respectful signal, helping to eliminate any discomfort and promote kindness and consideration among customers.”
