Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council

How many stops have been converted to low floor bus stops?

Stockton Council aims to have more low floor platforms fitted to encourage bus operators to use more modern low floor buses on services throughout the borough. These make bus use far easier for the elderly, people with disabilities (including wheelchair users) and parents with youngsters in buggies.

We have upgraded over 400 stops (38%) with platforms to encourage the use of low floor buses. In 2009/10 at least 30 additional stops will be upgraded - taking the total to over half of stops still in use in the borough. This compares very well with other authorities in the region.
