Hi Yusuf, this is where having a bit of sight comes in. Once you’ve allowed
the app to use your home location, it seems to find it on the map and set it
itself. I then exited the app and rebooted my phone. When I went in again all
info about local bus stops was there. What’s more, when you enter on a stop,
the app, not voiceover announces info about scheduled arrivals at the stop. I’m
going to try faffing about with it a bit more over next day or so and will
report anything I find. In the meantime it would be interesting to hear
anything you get from the devs.

Funny you should bring up that app Ian as I’ve been talking about it on the
transport list.
I can’t seem to set my home location with it, some of the buttons don’t appear
to be properly labelled, some text acts like buttons in that you can double tap
it and something happens, but voice over doesn’t report it as a button, and I
can’t seem to locate any tram stops in a location where I know one exists.
ON setting the home location you seem to have to select it from a map.
I was planning to email the developer to ask about these access issues. I’m
using an IPhone 5.

Subject: [access-uk] IPHONE TRAVEL APP
Having just upgraded my Next Buses app, I note that it has been superseded by
something called Travel line GB. At first glance this looks more sophisticated
and helpful than next buses, but I wondered whether anyone had any knowledge or
experience of using it?
