• A Bristol VRT doubledecker from the Bee Line Berks and Bucks Bus Company has started its nationwide Department of Transport tour of bus operators to promote better vehicle design.
Improvements made on the bus cost less than £5,000 and include a split-step entrance, bright coloured handrails, lowlevel palm-operated bell pushes, bus stopping signs to show hard-of-hearing passengers when the bus is slowing down, a large eye-level route number display by the entrance doors and a public address system for drivers to call out the names of principal bus stops.
All the latest design changes follow the recommendations laid down by the Disabled Persons Transport Advisory Committee.
