Contents of RDG Accessibility email group for last 12 months
Dear ScotRail Trains Limited,
I understand that there's an "Accessibility Email Group" by which members of the rail industry communicate on accessibility matters in service provision.
A FOI response at https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/8... shows that the group includes Dominic Lund-Conlon of the Rail Delivery Group, also Charlotte Haynes of Govia Thameslink Railway and somebody at LNER.
"Attached to this correspondence are scripts of email chains sent from Rail Delivery Group to the Accessibility Group, of which Northern is part."
The contents of said response suggests that this group may include accessibility-related staff at all train operating companies and possibly station operators such as Network Rail.
Please supply all emails sent to/by this Accessibility Group over the previous 12 months.
Thank you
Yours faithfully,
Doug Paulley

Dear ScotRail Trains Limited,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of ScotRail Trains Limited's handling of my FOI request 'Contents of RDG Accessibility email group for last 12 months'.
You claim that you do not hold this information. However, the email group in question includes at least one representative from every TOC on it, who receives all emails sent to the group. In Scotrail's case, I should imagine that the emails will have been sent to Mr Patrick Nyamurundira, your Accessibility and Integration Manager. So they would be in his email.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/c...
Yours faithfully,
Doug Paulley
Dear FOI,
By the way, I take it that your refusal isn't in any way prompted by the letter from RDG Legal sent to all TOCs:
https://www.kingqueen.org.uk/silencing-w...
Please be aware that RDG do not determine what information you hold or what you can / must release or otherwise. They are not the public authority. You are; and I insist on compliance with your obligations under the Freedom of Information Act.
I hope I don't have to enforce, but I will if necessary.
Yours sincerely,
Doug Paulley
