Thanks. I didn't see any offers above the boxes so it wasn't like your average table where I could look at the options above and then go down to the boxes like normal, there was no clew as what the boxes were for.
I am slightly surprised though about the response I've had. Yes people have responded but not with an online solution, just with Train time sites and a phone booking serfice (thanks for that Ron, will try it) and going to the station. They are all good ideas and welcome but I expected more people booking online and having ideas of my problem or different sites to try.

Hi DeanIt was quite a while ago when I tried booking tickets using the Trainline site. I seem to recall that there were boxes that you could check or uncheck relating to which offers you bought, but they didn't speak, and I had to keep going up and down the page to identify which box to tick went with which offer. In the end, I gave up and went to the station, which was oh so much quicker and less hassle to be honest. (smile.) I'm not saying it's like that now though, I haven't needed to do it.I also haven't used the National Express website, so couldn't say how well it works.Jackie Email: cairnsplace@xxxxxxx Skype Name: Cairnsplace ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dean Wilcox" <wilcoxdean@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, May 15, 2008 11:30 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Booking Train ticketsIf I remember right there were 3 trains there and 3 back on the page but 7 unlabelled boxes for each. I guess they could have been different ticket types and something relating to 1st class and standard but I'd just be guessing. What about the nationalexpress.com, was that just a tempary fault or can't I click the get times button with Jaws?At 08:59 15/05/2008, you wrote:Hi DeanI always use the Trainline website for checking train times, and find it much better and less cluttered thanwww.nationalrail.co.ukI did try to book tickets on that site once but, like you, found some of the boxes difficult for various tickets. I tend to just walk down to the station and book tickets as I find it as easy to do and an excuse for a walk. Perhaps it's a cop-out but there it is.

I was trying to book some tickets and this time didn't have sighted help and found that on the page where the Train options are given there are a number of unlabelled check boxes. I think they're ticket types but I don't know. I then went to nationalexpress.com and filled in the form on the home page but couldn't click the times and fairs button, or at least for certain it didn't work. Has anyone had any success with either the train line or national express to point me in the right direction?Thanks Dean ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq -- No virus found in this incoming message.Checked by AVG.
