Hiring wheelchairs?

unclekevin

Hi, can you hire wheelchairs at the Olympic park,? My disabled client only uses a wheelchair if the location we are going to requires a lot of walking and using a wheelchair comes in handy, we have got Olympic park day passes for Friday and if wheelchairs are available to hire what is the fee? (if any) and where is the location where we will find them?

There are little shuttle buses around the park - they take about 8 or 10 people. Plus you can borrow wheelchairs from the Games Mobility Service (you need photo id)

Just see. Your post so I hope it's not too late. Go to the mobility tent and they have mobility scooters and wheelchairs for free hire. All you need is photo I'd and your ticket. I've got a broken knee at the mo and a nice helper wheeled me from the mobility tent to Stratford bus station so I could get my bus after I dropped off the scooter.

That's brilliant, thanks for the reply.
