Tram access for mobility, hearing or visually impaired or disabled people

London's trams are fully accessible to everyone. All tram stops have step-free access, and level boarding to allow access for wheelchairs. There's designated wheelchair spaces on each tram, with a specially sited intercom to allow wheelchair users to speak to the driver in case of an emergency.

Wimbledon underground station also has passenger lifts which can accommodate wheelchairs, making your journey entirely wheelchair-accessible. To see all London underground stations with wheelchair access, visit tube access guide (www.tfl.gov.uk/gettingaround/transportaccessibility/1169.aspx).

To assist blind and visually impaired passengers, each tram stop has a tactile strip along its entire length, a safe distance from the platform edge. On board the trams, the name of the next stop is announced as soon as the tram leaves the previous stop to assist deaf and hearing impaired passengers.

Wheelchair users travel on London transport for free.
