Improving Train Travel for Blind Passengers
Available for over a year
For blind and partially sighted passengers, train travel can be more than just inconvenient, it can be unsafe. Shirley Grisedale from Eden Sight Support shares her experience of navigating the railways, from missed assistance to moments of vulnerability. As Avanti West Coast trials its “Try a Train” day, we ask: what does real accessibility look like, and how far is there still to go?
