'Mobile' epidural available at St Michael's Maternity Hospital Bristol??

Does anyone know if 'mobile' epidurals available at St Michael's Maternity Hospital Bristol? Am currently weighing up a VBAC vs ELCS and wanting to know what options are available.
Went 2 weeks over with first baby, failed induction, EMCS, baby in NICU for a week. Don't really want another section due to recovery etc but also cannot handle repeat of last time! I had an epidural during induction last time (at different hospital) which was fine except wondered if it slowed things down and like the idea of being mobile. Don't think it was available in the last hospital I gave birth.

Any info if you've had one at St Mich's or know if they do it would be appreciated! :)

I think they do patient controlled epidural so similar. There’s this video I’ve found on YouTube with some helpful information :)
