Accessibility Statement

Overview

Stagecoach is committed to working towards providing digital information that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of ability or technology. This page explains our approach to making this website accessible and the features provided to enhance the site’s accessibility.

Using the website

We are actively working to ensure our website is as accessible as possible, and as part of our aim to provide the most accessible experience possible for our visitors we have implemented the following accessibility features:

Keyboard navigation

Logical and consistent navigation is provided for keyboard users
Links are highlighted on keyboard focus
Our Stagecoach logo links directly to the home page
You can skip to the main content, main navigation (when the page contains it) and the accessibility page by pressing the tab key to navigate through links after the page loads, and then pressing the enter key on the appropriate link

Changing the display colour and font

Although we do not offer any alternate colour schemes to display the website, you can use the controls in your browser to change the size of the text or the colour of the display.

We work to ensure that the contrast of text and background colour combinations is sufficient and we have also ensured that information is not referenced or communicated by colour alone.

Links, new windows and layers

Links contain clear text and can be understood out of context for screen reader users.

Links to pages on the same website will open in the same window. Links to pages on external websites will open in a new window.

Links to downloadable documents and files will open in a new window to avoid conflicting with assistive technologies.

You can open links in a new window by using the keyboard shortcut Shift + Enter in most modern browsers. Please note: the keyboard shortcut for opening links in a new window may be different depending on the browser and operating system.

Downloadable files

We have made files available to download in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format,
