TURNING train operating websites grey to mark the death of Prince Philip is “another example of disabled people being forgotten,” charities said today.
National Rail Enquiries, Network Rail and other train operators sparked criticism today after they removed colour from their websites as a mark of respect for the deceased royal.
The sites were later restored to full colour following complaints.
Rail staff, passengers and charities complained the switch made the site unusable and impossible to read for those with visual impairments, raising concerns about breaches of disability discrimination laws.
Today rail union RMT issued a reminder to the industry of its legal requirement to ensure websites are accessible to all passengers, including those with disabilities.
