I thought transport came in last year. Is there an extra part on transport
that didn't come in?

Jim, another quick footnote on this - am I right in thinking that parts of
the Disability Discrimination Act will be coming in up to about the year
2020? I understand that transport will one of the last parts to be
implemented, but it is there at the bottom of the agenda if I remember
rightly.

Hi Chris,
As I said to Vince, the Act is useless, unless there's a court case (case
law) to make people that are installing these systems be responsible for
making them accessible to all disabilities, I think the word is
"reasonable" and they will always get round the law with that word.
Unless
someone knows differently!
Regards.
Jim.

Hello Jim,
Have you tried the three (magic?) letters D D A? It can certainly be
argued that, under the terms of the act, they should provide a system
accessible to all.
Cheers,
Chris

Hi Carol,
The first thing they said was how much (or not) money they have in the
kitty! So if the technology was available, I'm sure it would be
considered. However, I'm having a hard enough time trying to get them to
even look into what technology is available now to make this system
accessible.
Thanks for your comments though its appreciated.
Jim.
