Although the ODA awarded the route for passengers for the games offering unbelievable easy access for mobility impaired people, this transport service has been almost forgotten by Locog and poorly advertised. Our boats have hydraulic lifts for chair users and are fully compliant. The route is very interesting and offers a unique way of getting to the games and seeing parts of the capital only seen from the canals. Unfortunately Locog stopped us from using the Victoria gate on the ceremony nights after we had committed to building our boats, causing financial harm to several local businesses in Hackney.
