Hi,If it ever was inaccessible, try going to the First Group website and get the parent company to sort things. As I say, they are by far the best of the big transport providers. Have you tried any National Express sites, such as Midland Mainline, Silverlink or Central Trains?

Steve, Your view was exactly what I was after - thank you.FYI - From 1 April till 1 November this site was totally inaccessible, and it has only been by continuing debate with the TOC that we now have a site that would appear to have any resemblence of accessibility.Should anyone else viewing the site using anything other than JFW or WE disagree though it would be very interesting to learn of your views - Any Talking Point users that would be interested in commenting?Thanks once more Best regards Colin Fowler Disability Consultant www.social-model.org.uk Telephone: 01582 483 283 Text/Mobile: 07793 111 253 E mail: col.fowler@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Nutt" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, November 18, 2006 7:15 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Action - First Capital Connect web siteHi Colin,I personally dislike messages like this one, they are too vague. Why have you brought up this web site in particular? Taking a brief look at it withWindow-Eyes and IE 7, it is perfectly accessible, even to the point ofaltering font size, text size, etc, so they have obviously made some effort.What prompted you to "look" at it, and have these debates?What would be more interesting, is if you told us, if anything, the bits youfelt were not accessible, so we could look at those. Just saying can you look at a web site for accessibility, is not that useful, since there are probably hundreds of links on a web site such as this one. Or are you asking about the timetable functions, which I haven't looked at? Thanks, and more info please! All the best -- Computer Room Services: the long cane for blind computer users.
