Two New Red Buses for Wandsworth Community Transport
This month we have had the pleasure of converting two new wheelchair accessible minibuses for one of our long-standing clients, Wandsworth Community Transport. We first supplied Wandsworth CT with a minibus back in 2003 (over 20 years ago!) and we have been working together ever since to help them grow their fleet of accessible minibuses. All of their minibuses are used to support individuals in their local community who require specialist transport services.

The Stanfords Conversion
Take a look at the images below to see how we converted Wandsworth CT’s new wheelchair accessible minibuses.
Base Vehicle
Both of Wandsworth CT’s conversions are based on the Mercedes Sprinter L3H2 model and are finished in striking red to match their organisation’s colours.
Passenger Capacity
The vehicles can facilitate up to 16 seated passengers or 5 wheelchairs. All seats are fitted with removable fixings and some seats with tip / fold functions.
Interior Design
Each vehicle is finished in Wandsworth CT’s chosen grey patterned moquette and includes a range of high-visibility yellow features such as grab handles and headrests.
SCW Fold-Out Low-Entry Side Step
These conversions feature our exclusive fold-out low-entry side step which allows easy assisted access for Wandsworth CT’s clients.
Wheelchair Access
For passengers using wheelchairs, both vehicles are fully accessible and have been fitted with an underfloor tail lift. Upper cant rail and side wall tracking has also been included.
Passenger Comfort
To keep Wandsworth CT’s passengers comfortable, both vehicles feature rear saloon independent heating, air conditioning and LED bright white / comfort blue lighting.
Safety
For the safety of all passengers and drivers, both vehicles have been fitted with both internal and external CCTV camera systems. This is a favoured option with all their minibuses.
