Kevin,
This is a web design issue, rather than a Jaws one.
The site uses something called Tab Indexing. You can apply tab
indexing to elements on a page, most commonly form fields and the like. What
this does is force the tab key to move in a very specific order, quite
often, nothing like the natural order of the web page as you'd expect it.
This is a poor design method, used when pages have no natural or
logical order from the outset. I'm afraid I don't believe there's anything
you can do to overcome this, aside frm sending a complaint to the site
deveopers or owners.
Tink.

Subject: [access-uk] problem with a website
hi all, i'm having trouble navigating:
http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/incidents/cleared.html
using jfw6.1. for some reason on the nationalrail website as a whole, the
"tab" key isn't taking me to the next link. on the page above for example,
if i go to the top of the page and press tab, jaws seems to ignore most of
the page and drops me in a combo box in the journey planner near the bottom
of the page. it seems no matter where i place myself, if it's above this
journey planner, jaws skips into it. there's plenty of links on that page,
but jfw doesn't seem to want to know. it's only this site this happens with.
any ideas?
