Chiltern Railways launching new 'Accessibility Panel'
It will be made up of people with both visible and non-visible disabilities
Chiltern Railways is launching a new 'Accessibility Panel' which will be made up of people with both visible and non-visible disabilities.
The aim is to help create a more accessible rail network and shape future policy.
There will be a maximum of eight members who will meet four times a year.
Members will offer scrutiny, advice and recommendations on projects presented at panel meetings, with potential projects including train or station refurbishments, major timetable changes and reviewing Accessible Travel policies.
Chiltern Railways’ commercial and customer strategy director Eleni Jordan said:
"We are delighted to be launching our new Accessibility Panel.
"Those who join the panel will really help Chiltern to continue to improve accessibility on our trains and stations, ensuring we provide an enjoyable journey for all customers."
Membership is by application, which people can find out more about online.
The deadline for applications is 26 February.
The role is voluntary, but panel members will be paid for attendance at meetings in recognition of their commitment and expertise.
