We have recently introduced new sunflower lanyards for passengers who have a hidden condition or disability.<\/p>\n

The lanyard scheme enables c2c staff to recognise those customers who have a hidden disability without them needing to declare it. The lanyards also give additional reassurance that help is on hand if extra assistance is needed during a journey.<\/p>\n

The scheme was officially launched at a recent Try a Train event where approximately 300 pupils from eight different colleges and schools\u00a0across South Essex joined c2c on a special service from Shoeburyness<\/a> to Fenchurch Street<\/a>.\u00a0 The event was organised in conjunction with Essex County Council to help introduce young people with a range of disabilities to the idea and the practicalities of train travel and to give them the confidence to travel independently.<\/p>\n

Head of Stations Julie Davis, said: \u201cLiving with any disability can be difficult, but when the disability is not visible it makes life extra hard. Events like our Try a Train day really bring home the importance of disability awareness and many of the students that were travelling last week had no outward sign of disability. The sunflower lanyards will go some way to making life a little easier for our passengers who may need a helping hand when travelling with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The lanyards will be available from c2c station booking offices or by post from our Customer Relations department.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
