    Onto barge using ramp. Easy then to be on deck - space enough for two wheelchairs - manual chair can be provided on request. Platform lift to interior but stairs too. Got around inside in mechanical wheelchair - turning room when footrests of the chair removed. Seating on deck and interior. Intercom communication from driver to let you know of bridges and to allow other barges notice you are there
