Training Grounds for Blind Students | Liverpool News
Description
At the Royal School for the Blind in Liverpool, students are getting real-world public transport training on campus — complete with a bright yellow bus stop, pelican crossings, and street furniture — all designed to build confidence and independence before stepping onto busy city streets. This controlled “mini-city” environment lets visually impaired teens practice essential skills safely, while also empowering carers. The project, backed by local contractors and the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, is part of a broader push to make public transport fully accessible across the region by 2030.
