Greyscale Website Design

The request was refused by Network Rail Limited.

Dear Network Rail Limited,

In mid April you changed your website (https://www.nationalrail.co.uk) to greyscale in clear breach of the the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

Can you please confirm the following details:

1) When was this design change discussed and approved internally, and who was the most senior individual to approve the change to greyscale.
2) What assessments were made to ensure compliance against the accessibility regulations quoted above before the change was introduced.
3) The date and time of the greyscale change being introduced (and dependent on when this is answered, the date and time the greyscale change was removed).
4) The outcome of any assessments (either prior to the changes going live, or subsequent) on whether the 'greyscale' change breached the accessibility regulations above.

Yours faithfully,

John Mitchell
