Our buses are wheelchair accessible, with ramps enabling access to all vehicles within the fleet. There is space for one wheelchair per bus (unless the second customer is able to transfer to a fixed seat, in which case a second wheelchair can be accommodated in a fixed position). We do have some restrictions in place due to weight and stability, and advise that we do not carry mobility scooters. We also may not be able to accommodate larger wheelchairs for the same reason. The maximum weight allowed on the ramp is 300kg, which is the weight of the wheelchair when occupied. The wheelchair also cannot exceed the width of the designated wheelchair seating area. To avoid any disappointment, we would be happy to confirm in advance whether the wheelchair can be accommodated on board, and would ask you to send an email to [email protected] including a photograph of the wheelchair, as well as an indication of the width and weight of the chair. Please feel welcome to contact us for further information.

Pre-recorded commentary is available in 14 languages; English, German. Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese (Brazilian), Chinese (Mandarin), Russian, Danish, Dutch, Swedish, Polish, Turkish & Japanese.
