Bus Dimensions and Practicalities of Driving on Site
Both buses are 8m long, 2.5m wide and 3m high. They are the same size as a library bus or fire engine. Please note that overhanging trees can be a problem.
The ground surface should be even and firm- slopes, kerbs and cambers can cause scrapes underneath!
What we need to know from you
- Can we access a normal 3 pin, 13 amp socket for the bus’ electrical supply? Our extension leads are 20 metres long. Through a window is fine, but please consider the tripping hazard that a trailing cable presents.
- The timing of the school day/ your event
- Will there be an adult assistant to accompany groups?
(parent helpers are most welcome)
- Will bus visitors be at risk when entering/leaving the bus
(e.g. is there a busy road/ slippery surface)?
Passenger Access
- Please arrange with the bus manager if you require any assistance
- Both buses use step access with handrails
- The buses can offer a hydraulic wheelchair lift for
those users who are unable to use steps
