RenSEN Success Story

RenSEN proudly supports and is happy to promote a fantastic example of Third Sector & Private Sector collaboration two organisations working together, creating solutions for inclusive and accessible transport.
 
ScotRail & Shopmobility Renfrewshire
Partnership working to promote accessibility - "Mobility Scooter Travel"
Featured is our Film Star - Volunteer Treasurer 'Margaret Dymond'

Working in partnership with ScotRail Accessibility Manager Lauren McKie​​​​, Accessibility Continuous Improvement Manager to showcase how those with mobility disabilities can travel on ScotRail trains.

Shopmobility Renfrewshire's mobility scooters fit the dimensions required to train travel - 104cm (41") long and 56cm (22") wide. So; if your own scooter doesn't fit this criteria, just come and hire one of ours.

Even leave your own scooter with us and we will charge it up for you whilst you hire our equipment.

We look forward to working with ScotRail next year as they are in the process of planning a revised risk assessment of what Mobility Scooters can be accepted on all of their 9 train types.

Remember we:
1. Hire mobility scooters and wheelchairs (free and low cost)
2. Repair equipment at low cost
3. Host free social inclusion events
4. Advocate freely
