Foot of the Walk is rather unusual and I don't just mean the name. This stop has two platforms which actually form part of the pavement on either side of the roads. Although I didn't board the tram here, I have concerns about the layout as the pavements on one side are made quite narrow by the positioning of benches and ticket machines, and even cutting through could be daunting for folks with mobility aids. The fact that there is a pub practically on the platform is enough for me to want to skip this one.

This stop is very different to others along the route. While there are ramps on either side, tactile paving at the platform edges and level boarding, there are no rain shelters. Along the platforms there are seats with armrests on either side and one in the centre. Departure information is provided on overhead dot matrix screens. Help points with braille, and displaying a hearing loop symbol are installed on the platforms as well as ticket machines and smartcard readers. On the platform where the pub is located the walkway is narrow due to the placement of benches and card readers.
