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.

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, 
the bus does not stop there on that journey.  
Check any letters which are shown in the 
timetable against the key at the bottom of
