All new
developments are designed with full disabled access in mind, two such display
buildings being easily accessible for wheelchairs. In addition, we have
the facility to offer disabled visitors a tram ride on a wheelchair accessible
tram (accessed by means of a ramp) and our light railway has space for 1
wheelchair with a ramp leading up to the station platform at Chapel Road.
Trolleybuses are not generally deemed as having easy disabled access, although
one of our vehicles does have a front entrance/exit with handrails that is just
a little above kerb height which does make a ride a possibility for those
disabled visitors who are able to walk with aid for a very short distance.
However, the East Anglia Transport
Museum is an open air museum with many buildings that are not designed with
disabled access in mind. We have full disabled comfort facilities and a visit is
worthwhile, but may be tiring for visitors with mobility problems. People in
wheelchairs may need an escort to take full advantage of a visit.
Our members will always do their best to help
whenever possible to ensure that your visit is enjoyable. However, should
you be intending to visit the museum it would be helpful to us in ensuring that
our accessible vehicles are operating on that day if you could notify us by
letter or telephone either on the day of, or a couple of days before your
visit. Although we will always do our best to provide these vehicles when
they are required, we cannot guarantee this and it should be noted that vehicles
of this age can sometimes become unavailable at very short notice.
