When something gets in the way

Navigate your way

Use the skip link to move directly to the main content.
All primary navigation and actions can be reached with a keyboard; focus is always visible.
On a smaller screen, the Menu button opens the primary navigation.
You can reduce motion at any time; nothing depends on it.

Maps and evidence

Station lists are provided alongside maps and schematics.
Reach states use labels and patterns as well as colour.
Essential evidence stays available in text and tables, without requiring a map gesture.

When something gets in the way

If a page or workflow prevents you from contributing, share the page address, the action you were trying to complete, and any assistive technology you use with your organization’s coordinator. Avoid including private case details in a public report.

For a service interruption, check service status. You can learn about the investigation process without signing in.
