If the forecasters are up to their normal standard, then drop the zero, it may come to 12 !

What Stagecoach say.....
Stagecoach has adopted the Confederation of Passenger Transport (CPT) Code of Practice for the use and acceptance of mobility scooters on low-floor buses. The Code sets out standardised procedures, as well as clear information regarding the types of mobility scooters that can be accommodated on buses, to help operators ensure that mobility scooters are able to safely use their services.
The Code provides for approved mobility scooter users to be issued with a permit for travel that will allow the bus driver to recognise that the mobility scooter has been approved by the operator and the user has been trained in how to safely board and alight from the bus.

Regarding the turning, I can turn mine without having to reverse in a standard shoping aisle. I must check Stagecoach out and see what their rules are. They really are very clever pieces of kit regards turning.
In truth it does not effect me, as mine is always in the boot of my car ready for use.

A final word on these scooters. Most are made in the USA, so although I have never been there I can only assume like everything else there, the buses are BIG and can easily accomodate the scooter. Same with their "freeways"
Thanks Stuart, I must get a lance made for mine !

Yes it is as far as I know a class 2. I bought mine online and saved over £500.00. Most of the mobility shops the prices are eyewatering. I tried several in those shops till I found what I wished to purchase, then bought online.

Keith, they only allow one pram and a wheelchair on certain buses up here. That is why I mentioned the Dial a Bus it is designed for both wheeled items. Drivers do gave a difficult task,agreed, but she was allowed in but not allowed to return, which must have been upsetting .Her scooter looks similarto my model the 4mph one that can turn on a sixpence.

My own model I think about the same length of a modern pram, and they allow prams on buses !

There are mobility buses Stuart, that come to your door and can accomodate that type of scooter without any hassle. Up here its called Dial a Bus run by STRATHCLYDE PASSENGER TRANSPORT. Never used it, but would if I had too.

Interesting Alan, I keep my mobility scooter in bits in my car. However, I did make enquiries to Caledonian Travel to see if they would allow me to take mine on a coach holiday to Berlin. The reply was, certainly,no problem at all!
So it may be a regional thing but I find the Norwich handling of it, disgusting.

I Saw This Report In The Edp And Thought Of Other Scooter Users
in The Broadscot Lounge
Posted
So Stagecoach are not meaning the owner but the model of scooter for the permit, the way I read it.
