Morebus Managing Director Andrew Wickham has been gaining first-hand experience of the challenges faced by some elderly and physically-challenged passengers, when travelling on the bus.
Wearing one of Go Ahead Group-owned Morebus’ age simulation suits, Andrew took part in an exercise regularly undertaken by the company’s drivers, as part of its Equality and Diversity training.
Andrew says: “These suits are weighted to simulate mobility difficulties, and restrict sight and hearing – helping us understand the extra challenges faced by some who use our services.
“We developed this training in consultation with Age UK, and now we’re running it independently alongside our Dementia Friends training.”
