Henley Handy Bus Gets a New Mercedes Sprinter
This month we had the pleasure of converting a new wheelchair accessible Mercedes Sprinter for the Henley Handy Bus.
What is the Henley Handy Bus?
For over 30 years, the Henley Handy Bus has been supporting a variety of local services, including the 60+ social club, to provide days out, shopping trips and the opportunity to meet up with friends.
The New Accessible Minibus
Their latest Handy Bus is based on the Mercedes Sprinter L3H2 and can facilitate 11 passengers plus driver or 1 wheelchair. Inside, the new minibus features colourful patterned blue passenger seating with grey wipe clean bases, LED interior lighting and an upper luggage storage area.
