Access
Getting in the building from the parking bay was fine with a level surface. Accessible doors were the push pad type. Inside the main concourse was level and smooth. There's a reception with dropped level counter. Once inside you're by the cafe and an accessible loo. Going through the barrier you're in the sports areas where a lift takes you up to the veoldrome. The wheelchair viewing area was spacious with seats for companions. The wall in front of you as a wheelchair user felt quite high but when you realise the cyclists come up above it when going at full pace you see why it's like that.
Toilets
The accessible loos were good once you found them. Although they has the stick out style signs these were not always obvious from a wheelchair height. In the main concourse on the upper level there was one accessible toilet. Once inside the loos were fine with space to move, good grab rails and what you'd expect to find as a wheelchair user.
Staff
Staff were helpful and enthusiastic.
