West Midlands Trains (operator of West Midlands Railway and London Northwestern Railway) has implemented Recite Me assistive technology online to give website visitors full access to online information in a way that is suited to their needs.\u00a0<\/p>

The Recite Me accessibility and language tools are now installed on both the West Midlands Railway (WMR) and London Northwestern Railway (LNR) websites.\u00a0<\/p>

Over 13 million people in the UK (around 20% of the population) have disabilities that make accessing online content challenging. This means that many individuals do not have access to the tools they need to carry out day-to-day online tasks such as checking finances online or booking their next train ticket.\u00a0<\/p>

In 2020-21, West Midlands Trains were responsible for 13.6 million passenger journeys, therefore it was vital to provide support to create a unique online experience for each website visitor.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
