We are here to make journeys fair. Thomas Pocklington Trust campaigns so blind and partially sighted people can travel with confidence. Barriers are not inevitable, they are fixable, and together, we are fixing them.
50% of people with a vision impairment find it difficult to navigate transport.
Blind and partially sighted people rely on buses, trains, trams and taxis every day. Yet despite the Equality Act 2010, barriers persist – making it hard to access essential services and participate fully in society.
We are determined to break down these obstacles and advocate for a more accessible transportation system. Together, we can raise awareness, drive change and create a seamless, inclusive experience for all.
“On public transport, hailing a bus and accessing timetable information can be tricky due to inaccessible apps and websites. Trains are generally more accessible thanks to Passenger Assistance, but navigating train stations can still prove hazardous”
Dave, A blind passenger
“50% of people with a vision impairment find it difficult to navigate transport, but together, we can change this reality”
Mike Bell, Head of Public Affairs and Campaigns
Buses are lifelines. Yet too often, they are unpredictable and inaccessible – especially when audio is not working or driver training falls short.
