RAILCARD SITE AGAINI think the point here is that we should all communicate. As a minority group we need to be proactive ... and helpful to these services who don't know how to cater for us and may well wish to. ----- Original Message ----- From: Graham Page To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, November 07, 2006 11:31 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: RAILCARD SITE AGAIN the obvious question is how does he know the demand is low? it is possibley still the case that most people eligible for the disabled persons' rail card don't have access to computers but the amount that do is clearly growing all the time.

I'd asked him to put a text version of the form up as an alternative to PDF and also wondered why it wasn't possible to apply online. He says: Ian, I will get a word version of the form organised. As for online ren ewals at the moment there is v.low demand for this - but we are monitoring the situation. At the moment the cost of providing the facility outweigh the benefits. http://www.bbc.co.uk This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.
