    I have no personal experience with this, but their website says:

    3. Are both the RedLeaf and GoldLeaf coaches accessible by wheelchair?

    We have excellent wheelchair facilities for both services. There are areas where a wheelchair can be secured in place and have very easy access to the wheelchair accessible washrooms. Wheelchair lifters are available at all stations and the GoldLeaf dome coaches are equipped with interior ADA-style elevators. All we ask is that we are informed at the time of booking of the extent of the disability so we can guarantee that all plans are in place to ensure the vacation experience is a pleasant one.

    all public facilities in canada are required by law to be wheelchair accessible. also, being a tourist town private businesses' cater to all visitors needs so they can part you with your money. i lived in banff for 5 years and it is truly one of the most beautiful places to visit so go and have fun!
