it does seem to be a bit of a work around for some things, it was just
something I tried out when I had exactly the same issue you originally had,
and which on that occasion, worked.

Simon, you are a very fine fellow! Got it to work. Never had to double tap
and hold like that, is that a workaround as such or should I have been using
it more often?
Regards

you double tap and hold on the ticket type, until you get the sound, then
when you double tap it, you should go to payment.

Hey Steve,
Do you have a problem when finally wanting to buy the ticket? I have the
ticket type and price, and then a button for ticket restrictions. When I
double tap the ticket type I want it always sends me to the ticket
restrictions page whilst if my sighted wife taps once in exactly the same
place with voice over off she jumps to the payment page…I’m so close.
As for the 16-25 railcard savings applied message, she can’t see that
anywhere and actually the ticket price is without any discount. Aargh!
Could my iPhone 5 be finally meeting its match?
Thanks for taking the time,
Karl

Hi Karl,
I think if you tap the 16-25 Rail Card, you should get a dropdown, then
you can choose Disabled Railcard. It should then stay there.
All the best
Steve

Hi all,
I’ve just downloaded the tramline app and it is certainly easier to
navigate. Just two questions though..
I seem to have a permanent note of a 16-25 railcard savings applied to my
search even though I haven’t selected a railcard, and… When selecting my
return journey, how do I then go on to buy that ticket?
Just started but it looks like it may be for me, thanks Steve for
mentioning it.

Hi Simon,
I must admit, I like the self-printed tickets at the station.
I know I have to get assistance, but it's better than paying five quid
postage.
All the best
Steve

if you really want to use a website, I would recommend the virgin
eastcoast site, as they actually have a link for a more screenreader
friendly interface.
I would more recommend using one of the iPhone apps, if you have an
iPhone, the trainline being the one I tend to use, especially with some
of it's new features, such as being able to enter a postcode, of say a
final destination, and it will come up with the nearest stations, and
also tell you how far they are from the postcode you entered. the only
thing which it doesn't offer, is an option to have tickets posted to
you,
but none of the other apps seem to offer this option either, for some
strange reason. this would be the one advantage of using something like
the virgin eastcoast site.
hope this helps.

Hi all,
I’m struggling to find a good useable site for buying rail tickets.
I’m using a Mac and Safari.
Regards to all.
