    Good

    Located in the shadow of the Jenners Depository building, this stop is another example of the general consistency of access offered by Edinburgh Trams. With ramped access, plenty of accessibility features and level boarding, it is very much more of the same but it is absolutely appreciated.

    There are two platforms at this stop, one on either side of the track, although there are no traffic lights like you see at some other locations. A ramp takes you straight up to either platform and boarding the tram is completely level. The road up to the entrance has a bit of an incline and there is also a stepped route. The steps have tactile paving on the bottom and top step with rails on both sides. Like other stops around the city, there are seats under the rain shelters if you need a rest while waiting. You can buy tickets at the machines or use the smart card terminals and the ET app is another handy option. The platform edges have tactile markings and there is a help point with braille if you need information or want to call for assistance in an emergency. There is also a hearing loop. Overhead signage is available on dot matrix screens.

    I travelled to this place by walk or wheel

    Parking is in short supply in the local area, making this more ideal for locals rather than those visiting the city, unless you are hopping on the bus from here. The bus stop is just under 100 metres from the tram stop.

    Accessible Toilets

    There are no accessible toilets nearby.
