Park & Ride sites can be found at:
- Oxon Business Park
- Meole Brace Retail Park
- Harlescott, near Tesco
Cycle parking is available at the Meole Brace and Oxon Park & Ride sites.
All buses have special low floor access at the front and are ideal for parents with pushchairs and people who are less mobile. Buses also have a ramp to enable access for wheelchair users.
