RAILCARD SITE AGAINHi Ian, Surely this isn't right? I understood that if you
provided a website for the general public it had to be made accessible for
the disabled also, I did receive an application form from the disability rail
card people this morning but it is still in word format which means that if you
cannot fill the form in on the computer you have to get someone else to do it
for you, there should be no need for this if the form was on there website and
was easier to fill in it would make people like myself and others more
independent, what is so wrong in this many of us like our independence as
much as we can, so why should the ones like myself have to suffer because of
these people don't want to make there site more accessible for us, especially
the application form. People like these make me sick just because they are
disabled why should we do this why would they want to travel anywere.

Following my enquiry to ATOC's head of inclusion and accessibility, here's
his response. I'd asked him to put a text version of the form up as an
alternative to PDF and also wondered why it wasn't possible to apply online.
He says:
Ian, I will get a word version of the form organised. As for online ren
ewals at the moment there is v.low demand for this - but we are monitoring the
situation. At the moment the cost of providing the facility outweigh the
benefits.
