Just got a request from the Dutch railways' survey panel to update my personal information, to make sure my profile was still up to date - and I noticed that several of the questions had been improved *a lot*, leading me to suspect they had it reviewed by someone neurospicy (eg. some traditionally-vague-in-NL survey questions were clarified a lot).

Of particular interest was that aside from a man/woman/other/prefer-not-to-say option, they had an *additional* "how do you want to be addressed" field... which is freeform text input!

And near the end of the survey, it explicitly stated that they are working on better accessibility, both for physical disability and also things like neurodivergence, and whether they could ask some additional questions about that. So I guess that confirms my suspicion.

Sidenote, if you're in NL, and you're a rail nerd, sign up for the survey panel! Details about unreleased/non-final plans for the railways show up there with some regularity

(Though for their in-person events, like that VR tour of the potential new train interiors, they really need to fix their compensation - a second-class off-peak ticket is really kind of a shitty compensation when you're asking people to sort out their own transport to get there... you're a train company FFS, could you really not afford to pay for the tickets of your survey panel???)
