Manoeuvering into the designated wheelchair space

As yet not all service providers within the county operate wheelchair accessible buses. At the time of going to print we have received advice that the following bus routes have accessible super low floor buses. However it is important to note that occasionally substitutions of high floor buses may be made where breakdown or routine maintenance occurs so it is recommended that passengers ring and confirm that a suitable bus is on their required route before embarking on a journey. Accessible buses are being gradually introduced on to new routes so it is worthwhile checking from time to time with the company who provide your local bus service. We will also be adding updated information to this website as we receive it.
