Preparation of this accessibility statement

This statement was prepared on 2nd September 2020. It was last reviewed on 10 November 2020.

This website was last tested on 2nd September 2020 by Nomensa who manually audited 5 pages (Welcome, Book, My Bookings, Track Vehicle) and 1 PDF (Complaints Policy) against all level A and AA success criteria from Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1. The approach to deciding on which sample of pages to test was based on the Website Accessibility Conformance Evaluation Methodology (WCAG-EM).
