[access-uk] Re: chuffing good trains times website

Hi Steve, Adrian and everyone,

Steve, interesting to hear of the strategies you use to navigate the 
National Rail site.  I'm a ZoomText user and have sufficient residual 
vision to be able to avoid many of the accessibility issues, though I do 
often have difficulty with screen contrast and strange colour 
combinations.  It tends to be the little things that are annoying, like 
when you select tomorrow's date the screen resets back to the top of the 
page again:  this is just awful programming!

One of the things that has been taken away and which was most useful in 
the past was the timetable listing the final destination of each train.  
This was extremely useful information, since it made it a lot easier to 
be sure you were on the right train.  Pre National Rail it provided this 
information for every leg of the journey.  A useful way around this is 
to use the live departure boards on a previous day to check the 
destination of trains.  This also has the advantage that you can see 
exactly where trains stop.

Cheers,

Brendan.
