🚆💙 Travel Confidence Training! 💙🚆

Posted on by

A huge thank you to Marid and Kurtis for another fantastic Travel Confidence training session! 🙌😊 We were also delighted to welcome British Transport Police 🚔👮‍♀️👮‍♂️, who delivered a really useful presentation all about rail safety and staying safe when travelling by train. 🚆🛤️ Our members also enjoyed a fun train and safety quiz 📝🧠, putting their knowledge to the test!

🧡 Everyone received an Orange Wallet to help them feel more confident and supported when travelling. These can help people communicate important information if they need assistance. 👍 Another brilliant session helping our members build their confidence, independence and travel skills! 🌟💪🚌🚆 Thank you to everyone who took part! ❤️

A big thank you to Kurtis and Mared from Innovate Trust for another fantastic Travel Confidence Training session with our members today! 💙 Today we learned about:

📙 Wallets – a simple way to let transport staff know that someone may need extra help or support when travelling.
🚌 The difference between a bus and a coach – and how to recognise which one we need!
⚖️ Our legal rights when using public transport – knowing our rights helps us feel safer and more confident.
🤝 Having assistants and getting the right support – everyone should be able to travel as independently and safely as possible.

Travel training is all about building confidence, independence and skills so people can enjoy getting out and about in their communities. 🌍💪 We are looking forward to seeing everyone next week, when we will be joined by British Transport Police for a special presentation! 👮‍♀️🚆 Thank you again Kurtis and Mared for making the session fun, accessible and informative! ❤️

Travel Confidence Trip with Clare from Transport for Wales

Posted on by

We recently jumped aboard for a fantastic Travel Confidence trip with the lovely Clare from Transport for Wales! 🙌
We set off from Pengam Station and travelled to Cardiff Queen Street, before heading down to the beautiful Barry Island 🏖️☀️
On the way back, we enjoyed a direct journey from Barry Island to Pengam—and we were lucky enough to ride on one of the brand new trains! 🚄 They’re so comfortable, spacious, and much quieter than the old ones 🙉👏
We had coffee and cold drinks at Marco’s ☕🥤, took a lovely stroll along the front 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️, and of course, no trip to Barry Island is complete without chips and ice cream 🍟🍦
Everyone had a fab day, full of fun, sunshine, and confidence-building travel skills 🌟💙
Thanks again to Clare and Transport for Wales for supporting us to travel safely and independently ❤️🚉
