Local Authority Minibuses

During our 27 years within the industry, we have converted a vast number of wheelchair accessible vehicles for a variety of different local authorities across the country. One of our more local clients, the London Borough of Redbridge, recently returned to add some L2H2 Mercedes Sprinters to their fleet.

The London Borough of Redbridge’s latest minibuses

We have been converting wheelchair accessible vehicles for the London Borough of Redbridge for over 20 years now and during this time, we have worked closely with them to design a specification which works perfectly for their passenger transport and mobility services.

Redbridge’s passenger transport and mobility services undertake in excess of 25,000 passenger movements each week and operate 365 days per year. These busy services depend on durable and reliable minibuses and that’s where we come in to assist…

With Redbridge’s vehicles we work closely with them to include additional features which maximise both driver and passenger safety and comfort

Passenger seating with wipe clean bases & lower wipe clean interior lining

These breathable wipe clean seating bases and easy-to-clean interior finishes allow for a quick turnaround time between trips.

Removable seating

Each of Redbridge’s passenger seats includes removable seat fixings giving them complete flexibility. All vehicles can be configured in different ways depending on their use.

Double passenger seat belts

Redbridge’s vehicles are regularly used to transport vulnerable passengers with specialist needs. Because of this, all seats include double seat belts which can be used to safely secure these passengers.

High visibility grab handles, step edging & entrance flooring

All vehicles include yellow high-visibility features such as grab handles, step edging and entrance flooring. This makes access easier for partially-sighted passengers.

CCTV Cameras

We have fitted a number of internal and external CCTV cameras to all of Redbridge’s vehicles. These camera systems help protect all driver’s and passengers from any potential harm.

Radio system

Radio systems have been fitted to Redbridge’s new vehicles to allow drivers to have direct contact with the main transport office. The radios can also be used for emergencies.
