RAILCARD SITE AGAINIan,
May I suggest that you politely remind David Sindell at ATOC that his
organisation has a General duty to comply with the Disability Equality Duty,
and that as anticipation underpins the fundaments of there compliance, perhaps
the inclusion of disabled persons should be considered before making such
sweeping statements such as "cost to implement out weighing the benefits?"
Kind regards
Colin Fowler

Well, I'm very happy to feed stuff back to ATOC and will certainly do so on
this discussion.

I think the point here is that we should all communicate. As a minority group
we need to be proactive ... and helpful to these services who don't know how to
cater for us and may well wish to.

the obvious question is how does he know the demand is low? it is
possibley still the case that most people eligible for the disabled persons'
rail card don't have access to computers but the amount that do is clearly
growing all the time.
Cheers

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.
