It includes:
- Free training for people with disabilities to gain confidence using public transport

Tell us about your experiences
Travelling With Confidence aims to raise awareness about how disabled people experience public transport.
We would like to hear about your travel experiences, especially if there is someone you would like to thank and nominate as a ‘travel hero’. It could be a driver or guard, someone in a ticket office or information centre, or a member of the public who supported you.
Much as we all like to think that we would help someone if they needed it, sometimes people don’t help in simple ways like giving up a seat or keeping a wheelchair space free. We would like to hear these stories too, so we can better help to improve awareness and advise on good practice.
