Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters
Accessibility in Planning and Delivery of Transport Projects: Discussion
Ms Anne Graham:
There was a question about booking and the removal of 24-hour booking ahead. For bus services that have a low-floor platform, there might be a requirement to take out some seats to access the wheelchair space, but generally what we are trying to move to, particularly with low-floor vehicles, is that the wheelchair space is kept available at all times. For the double-deck coach fleet, that will be the requirement from now on.
Mr. Creegan might comment on Irish Rail with regard to moving towards reducing the booking time and the requirement for a ramp on rail services.
