Statement dated 20/09/2026

Accessibility is part of the route.

The aim is WCAG 2.2 AA. The site has not had an independent accessibility audit, so it does not claim full conformance; what has been checked, and how, is listed below.

What has been designed in

  • Semantic headings, landmarks and labelled controls.
  • Visible keyboard focus and touch targets of at least 44×44px.
  • A high-contrast light palette, including controls and secondary text.
  • Reduced motion when your device requests it.
  • Walk information presented as text. The sketch map on a walk page is a picture of the stops in order; every stop, and the order, is in the numbered list beneath it, and the map’s caption says what the line does and does not show.

Known limitations

Every walk page and the full browse collection remain readable without JavaScript. JavaScript enhances the finder and location filter; three useful suggestions remain available if it is blocked. The feedback form is connected to Formspree.

What has been checked, and what has not

In September 2026 every page was checked at 375px and 1280px for text contrast (all text meets AA), touch targets of 24px or more, heading order, images without alternative text and horizontal overflow, and the keyboard route through the header, the finder and a walk page was walked with visible focus. Not yet done: a pass with VoiceOver or another screen reader, 200% zoom, and an automated axe or Lighthouse run. Those are next.

Report a barrier

If something on the site stops you, say so through the feedback form — the second form is fine for this — or write to the address on the privacy page. A barrier is treated as a correction to the route.
