The 'Access' Bus was built in 2007 on an Iveco chassis and it allows the easy transportation of wheelchair users and those with access requirements around the site. It was repainted into the stunning 'Venture' livery in 2017.

The model was scratch built from 3 sides, roof and top deck stairs enclosure from Tower London E1 kits, a West Ham kit top deck bulkhead for the rear, part of two windows from a Birmingham kit upper deck for the front and some plastic card and strip. It has a scratch built 1½ mm black plastic card chassis, glued round an N sized battery box and uses the Faller lorry front axle, steering arm and rear wheels and the 1:64 ratio motor / gearbox which were all supplied by DCC Train Automation. The battery holder, the normally closed reed switch and the on / off switch were from other sources.
