USERS (CLICK ON THE RELEVANT BUS OPERATOR)
ACCESSIBILITY
OF VEHICLES NORMALLY USED ON INDIVIDUAL BUS ROUTES
In late 2005 we were given
the ability to add a low floor symbol to the timetables of buses
that display this feature. However, we cannot guarantee that low
floor buses will always be used on these routes. We recommend that disabled travellers
check with the relevant bus operator before they travel.
