This section features accessibility-related information, and tools and resources that you can use to help make your journey comfortable, safe, and accessible.

Here you will find tools for communication and accessing tram journey information in an alternative format, information about travelling on trams with mobility aids, prams, and assistance animals, and we've also got some videos and virtual stories that give you details about what to expect when travelling on trams. There's even virtual tours of an E-class and a B-class tram.
