LEVC is proud to announce it is providing a TX Access for Edinburgh Castle to further improve accessibility for visitors at the historic site.
Edinburgh Castle’s location atop Castle Rock presents a challenge for visitors with limited mobility, due to its steep incline and cobbled pathways. The LEVC TX Access offers a comfortable and inclusive transportation option for visitors to easily ascend and descend the hill.
Alex Nan, CEO of LEVC, commented: “We are thrilled to support Edinburgh Castle by providing a vehicle that is accessible to all. The TX Access is more than a black cab, the fully electric and wheelchair-accessible vehicle is designed to meet the highest standards of comfort and inclusivity..”
Designed to provide unparalleled accessibility, the TX Access is fully wheelchair accessible, featuring a direct access ramp that neatly folds away into the floorspace, allowing for swift deployment and adjustability. It features a large door aperture for easy entry and exit, spacious interior for wheelchair manoeuvrability, and a restraint system to secure wheelchairs in place.
Additionally, the vehicle offers large windows and an impressive panoramic roof for passengers to enjoy the journey. Other accessibility features include a swivel seat, anti-slip floors, hearing induction loops, and braille-embossed controls and a microphone system.
Stephen Porter, Branch Manager at The Taxi Centre, Scotland’s largest LEVC dealer which sourced the TX Access for Edinburgh Castle, said: “This recent addition to Edinburgh Castle’s transportation fleet aligns with a broader trend towards eco-friendly solutions within the tourism and service industries, and we are delighted the Edinburgh Castle team is happy with their LEVC TX Access.“
