The wheelchair lifts are of an old, non-standard design, there are no dedicated wheelchair spaces with rear facing high backed seat cushions, and there are no low mounted stop bells fitted either. There may be some other technicalities present that I've not listed too.<br /><br />Some of the above is why the big groups have withdrawn early Dart SLFs and B6LEs even though they are low floor."<br /><br />Also, when these buses were in London service the only seats fitted in the lower deck was a single row of five seats at the back and four rear facing seats over the rear wheel arches. The rest of the space was taken up with large, full height luggage racks.Nicknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7712781400433441765.post-18947027740364658092012-02-18T14:38:56.805+00:002012-02-18T14:38:56.805+00:00The wheel chair lift was taken out following a maj...The wheel chair lift was taken out following a major accident in 2005 where the door and lift were badly damagedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
