Accessible Coach Routes
As of 2012 All coach routes on the Scottish Citylink network are now wheelchair accessible as long as they are booked in their ticket agents or via their contact centre at least 48hrs in advance.Early in 2007 Stagecoach and Citylink introduced 15m coaches which can seat 65 passengers or 63 with a wheelchair, Plaxton Panthers on a Volvo B12B Chassis. These coaches have wheelchair access though the main door at the front of the coach with a powered wheelchair lift.
Stagecoach Glasgow have also taken delivery of three 12.3m Plaxton Panthers with the same wheelchair access, more are on order for use on the Citylink/Megabus routes to Dundee and Inverness.

Famous quotes containing the words accessible, coach and/or routes:
“...ordinary experience has to be made extraordinary in order to become accessible to reflection.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“There is no country in which so absolute a homage is paid to wealth. In America there is a touch of shame when a man exhibits the evidences of large property, as if after all it needed apology. But the Englishman has pure pride in his wealth, and esteems it a final certificate. A coarse logic rules throughout all English souls: if you have merit, can you not show it by your good clothes and coach and horses?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
