Dockline Tram Accessibility
Both Dockline trams have wide doors and can accommodate a wheelchair. But boarding does need assistance.
To board the tram along the route at one of the tram stops, wheelchairs need to be lifted onto the tram so an accompanying caregiver who can do this must be with you.
(Unfortunately this option is not currently available due to works at the tram shed, apologies for any inconvenience) If you are on your own, or do not wish to be lifted onboard, you can board at our tram shed which has a ramp. This must be by prior arrangement, as our Tram Driver needs to take a detour off route to collect and drop you. Phone 027 252 5706 or email james.duncan@motat.org.nz ahead of the day you wish to take a ride. We welcome your enquiry.
*Do keep a check on this website though for any required closures. To ensure the overall safety of the public, trams may not operate if there is heavy foot traffic in the area.
