The modern, low sulphur emission vehicles used on services using the guideway provide some impressive features with anti-slip floors, better leg room, easy access and easy grip handles. The interior has been designed for First customers by First customers and conforms to the latest DiPTAC (Disabled Persons Transport Advisory Committee) standards.

There are only a limited number of locations where bus stops are placed within the guideway section itself. Where these occur, passengers who have to cross the road to reach the bus, or to leave it, have the benefit of improved pedestrian crossing facilities.

At the stop itself, the kerb is raised so that there is a platform from which level boarding into the bus is available. The bus pulls up within millimetres of the platform edge, guided by its guide-wheels. This helps passengers with walking difficulties and those with pushchairs or in wheelchairs.

Stops and shelters on the guideway section will provide new standards of comfort and easy access for passengers with mobility problems including older people, wheelchair users and families with prams.

In addition, six special shelters are included on the central guideway. Two of them are "Super Shelters" which are three times bigger than normal.

Elsewhere on the route, where there is no guideway, other bus stops are also modified to provide a raised platform, as the guidewheels on the bus allow close alignment of the bus to the raised kerb edge. Once again level boarding is available.
