Thames Travel has partnered with the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association to support a specialist training programme of puppies that help visually impaired passengers on public transport.
Thames Travel presented complimentary annual bus passes to the Association this week. It will enable volunteer training instructors from the charity to travel free with trainee assistance dogs to familiarise the hounds with public transport.
Phil Southall, Thames Travel MD, says: “We’re committed to making travel easier for everyone via our Access for All policy. We’re aware different passengers have different needs and are always looking for ways to improve our service.”
