We will always listen to feedback and have been speaking to a representative of the wheelchair user community about our accessibility policy. We're making improvements as a result starting with some clearer guidelines below.
Next steps include reviewing our other communications and reminding all our drivers, coach station staff and ticket office staff of our policy. We look forward to welcoming on board as many wheelchair users as we are able to, in accordance with our policy.
Whether booking travel with us in advance or at the time of travel, we need to carry out certain checks to ensure we are able to provide travel.
We must check:
While we recommend that wheelchair users contact us on the following local rate telephone number: 03717 81 81 81 (lines open 8am - 10pm 7 days a week) at least 36 hours in advance of travel to give us time to carry out these checks, if they wish to book travel on the day we will make all reasonable efforts to carry out these checks on the day. If all checks are clear, we will be able to complete the booking.
The wheelchair models detailed have been compatibility checked and approved for safe travel on our vehicles. Please note, the wheelchairs listed have been compatibility checked for standard models only.
If your wheelchair has been modified or adapted in any way (medical equipment attached that is not removable, handlebars or footrests altered or any other part of your wheelchair has been customised) please call us on 03717 818181 (option 3) or email us at addl@nationalexpress.com and we will carry out further checks to confirm if your wheelchair can be safely secured on board our vehicles ready for you to travel.
If your make and model of the wheelchair is not listed below please call us on 03717 818181 (option 3) or email us at addl@nationalexpress.com and we will carry out the relevant safety and compatibility checks on your wheelchair.
