Great to see Doctor Who promoting accessibility (the issue of Davros and RTD’s views on that angered quite a few viewers however.)
BTW I notice LR has never mentioned anything about BSL screens. Its an important component of accessibility on the railways. Ramps are certainly a major part of the effort, but the BSL screens have become an important element in the past year or so.
Hi Rog,
We have featured British Sign Language on the UK rail network in June 2021, January 2023, and in October 2023.
Rog: I’m working on a BSL implementation for SWR at this very moment. Should be available at Waterloo for a trial very very soon.
Brian: Look forward to seeing this! Hope it succeeds at Waterloo as not every London main line station that’s done it has managed to sustain it (due to incompatibility or how the screens worked with the main software).
