As representatives of operators and suppliers in the bus and coach sector, we should say that our industry was already in a strong position in terms of accessibility when the Strategy was developed. We believe that progress on initiatives specific to our sector since the Strategy was launched have been hampered by a lack of DfT resource, the PSVAR situation that emerged and the pandemic. This is exemplified by the slow progress regarding accessible information, following the Government’s consultation in 2018. However, good progress has been made in this area over the last six months or so and we believe that the Regulations and guidance will be published soon.
