We have discovered at Loftus that the wheel chair ramps on the Variotram are actually useless to us - they obviously are intended only to bridge between the tram and half-height platforms in the street sections, they don't reach from the tram to the ground/road.

We did discover that a bridging plate we bought for getting wheel chairs and 'mobility challenged' people onto trams at the 'back platform' is a near perfect fit. This ramp won't fit behind the drivers seat though.
