Our vehicles were built in the 1960s and as such were not designed and are not equipped to take some mobility impaired people. We will do our very best to assist where we can and have provided here a guide to indicate how accessible each of our vehicles are. |

Below are photographs of the entrance to each type of vehicle operated by us. The layout and measurements are then described underneath. Finally, interior views show the general environment and seating arrangement. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us. |

From flat ground there is a 13 inch (330mm) climb. This becomes reduced where there is a roadside kerb. Once on the lower step, there are 2 further steps of 8 inches (205mm) to the level lower deck floor. Steps are green with black nosing which provides some contrast. Entrance width is 20½ inches (520mm) either side of a central, low contrast, polished steel grab-rail. To access the top deck, there are 7 steps of between 9½ and 11 inches deep (240mm – 280mm), which turn through 180 degrees. There are grab-rails both sides. A folded wheelchair space is under the staircase. Between seats there is a minimum aisle width of 16 inches (400mm). Seats have polished steel grab-rails attached to the tops and vertical poles are fitted where necessary. |

From flat ground without a kerb is a 15½ inch (390mm) climb. To help, a small portable step is available which is 9 inches (230mm) deep, so reducing the climb to 6½ inches (160mm). The step is just seen at the bottom of the picture – simply ask the driver if you wish to use it. Once on the lower step, there are 2 further steps of 11½ inches (290mm) to the very slightly inclined saloon floor. Steps are silver-grey with green treads providing good contrast. Entrance width is 23½ inches (600mm) with a low contrast grab-rail to the right and a small grab-handle on the left. Up to four folded wheelchairs can be accommodated in the rear boot. Between seats there is a minimum aisle width of 16 inches (400mm). Seats are not fitted with grab-rails but have high back head rests which are of some help to hold on to. |
