Hi 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.
