The buses are equipped with ramps for wheelchair access, but the historic canal boats have steep stairs and are generally not suitable for wheelchair users.

Early morning or late afternoon departures generally offer a quieter experience on the boats, while midday runs are the busiest and may require waiting for the next available vessel.

It is recommended to bring your own standard wired headphones with a 3.5mm jack, as some vessels and buses require you to plug directly into the seat's audio system.
