Hey,
Thanks Manduca; sorry I missed the question about the shuttle in the Orga meeting.
As Manduca says, we are hoping to have a wheelchair accessible shuttle.
Perhaps you'd like to discuss with me the best way of coordinating that with Team:Accessibility, if there are any special requirements beyond making a note on the Wiki and having information on the signs?
The on-site bits are Manduca's domain :)
Best,
Hugh
