The Bolton News:

Recently, Northern announced it would be introducing British Sign Language announcements on some services.

Passengers will first see the new BSL visuals on trains between Manchester Victoria and Leeds to interpret information such as station announcements.

Census data in 2021 showed that in addition to spoken languages, BSL was the main language of 22,000 people.

Northern is looking for partners – charities, organisations or experts who could help provide sign language interpreters for the project.
