Easy access on buses

Journeys run with low floor buses have no

steps at the entrance, making getting on

and off easier. Where shown, low floor
buses have a ramp for access and a dedicated
space for wheelchairs and pushchairs inside the
bus. The bus operator will always try to provide
easy access services where these services are
scheduled to run.
Using this timetable
Timetables show the direction of travel, bus
numbers and the days of the week.
Main stops on the route are listed on the left.
Where no time is shown against a particular stop,

timetable against the key at the bottom of
the page.
