Eh ?
A View Source seems to show lots of javascript.
None of it essential. If you switch javascript off entirely, the
accessible site works perfectly (in Firefox on OS X and Linux, at least;
however, without javascript, it should be very portable).
All three versions are doing something my Kindle's browser doesn't like
which result in nothing I type into the search box appearing, indeed
this is also true of the site search box which works fine on other TfL
pages.
Interesting. Can you disable javascript? As i said, the accessible site
works perfectly without it on my browser, so there is a fighting chance it
will work on a Kindle. If a non-javascript site works on a desktop but not
a Kindle, that would be surprising and interesting. It would be worth
bringing to TfL's attention, although the Kindle might not be on their
list of supported browsers, even for the accessible site.
