New WY Metro Access Bus to Morrissons
There is now a WY Metro Access Bus from Farnley Tyas to Morrisons at Waterloo every Wednesday morning. It is of particular benefit to people who are unable to use standard bus services, as the driver assists passengers from door-to-door, including boarding and alighting. The buses are fully accessible, fitted with seatbelts and the most up-to-date wheelchair restraints.
Please contact Liz Turner at lizannturner@hotmail.co.uk for more information.
Details:
Wednesday approx 10.15am, returning approx 12.15pm from Morrisons Waterloo. They pick up at your address take you to Morrisons door.
You are told a time to return (most go in cafe and wait). You will be picked up at Morrisons door and returned to your home, and thus far the driver has carried passengers' bags. You need to have a bus pass or disability pass and live in Kirklees to use the service. Wheelchair users can also use it.
