The Motability Foundation has awarded grant-funding to the RNIB and Community Rail Network to explore the effectiveness of disability training received by rail staff across the UK and develop innovative new models of raising disability awareness. It will focus on supporting rail staff to improve how they communicate with and assist disabled people, with the ultimate aim of making rail travel more accessible and inclusive for disabled travellers.

RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey was joined by Jim Sanders, RNIB Director of Transformation to find out more about how the Motability funding will hopefully make rail travel more accessible and inclusive for us all as blind and partially sighted people.
