Covid-19
Just to remind you that the wearing of face coverings when travelling on trains and other forms of public transport became mandatory from Monday 15 June. Greater Anglia are asking customers to wear face coverings from when they enter a station, so that they do not hold up others at ticket barriers or when boarding a train. Children under 11 do not need to wear a face covering and people with specific medical conditions (e.g. those with breathing difficulties or specific disabilities), that mean they cannot wear a face covering, will not have to do so.To keep people safe, more thorough cleaning, improved information on potential crowding and one-way systems at busier stations have been put in place. The requirement is for face coverings (not surgical masks).
Full details of Greater Anglia’s revised timetables, advice on social distancing, face coverings, refund arrangements and other relevant information can be found on their website. www.greateranglia.co.uk
Watch the video which shows the new and extensive cleaning routine to Greater Anglia’s Trains to keep everyone safe when travelling on the trains.

Technical information about this website’s accessibility
Essex and South Suffolk CRP is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
Compliance status
We do not know the level of compliance the website has with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, as we have not yet been able to test the website against this due to limited resource for testing against accessibility compliance..
However, we are aware of the need for compliance and we plan to test the website by 31 January 2021. We plan to make all content accessible by 1 June 2021.
Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
PDFs and other documents
Most of our older PDFs and downloadable documents do not meet accessibility standards. However, we plan to ensure that moving forward all PDFs meet WCAG 2.1 Accessibility standards.
The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services.
For documents that are essential to providing our services, such as: –
- Information on how users can access our service
- Forms published in word documents and PDFs
we are developing a strategy to ensure that they are made accessible.
The strategy prioritizes PDFs that are opened/used regularly or have information that is a statutory requirement. We are also developing training and guidance to help all document creators develop accessible documents.
Our plans are to ensure that all essential PDFs meet accessibility regulations by 1st June 2021.
Live Video
We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.
