Hi Adrian,

This is a really interesting technical solution, but...

Surely we don't need yet another train times site on the Web.  What we 
really ought to have is one site which is accessible to all and which 
provides information in a simple and straightforward way.  This service 
is presumably linking to the National Rail Journey Planner, but why not 
make that service accessible in itself?  If people who are VI have to 
use a different site to the one used by most people, what hope is there 
for full accessibility and integration?

I'm not saying the National Rail site is a good model.  I'm a regular 
and frequent train traveller and I find the site useful but pretty awful 
to use.

Cheers,

Brendan.
