Improving Train Travel for Blind Passengers

Available for over a year

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?
