Can't see subtitles when fast forwarding

Firstly its now vastly more difficult to activate subtitles, but also when I fast forward, subtitles dissappear, making it very difficult to resume watching in the correct place. 

Has anyone got a work around for this? Its feels like accessibility requirements have been deprioritised significantly in product development.

    This may not be unique, our Sky Q also does not display subtitles in fast forward mode.

    You can see why, at full 30x FF each second, 30 seconds of text would need to be displayed,
    it would be unreadable.

    You can use the contect key to activate sub titles.  You can also have subtitles turned on permanetly (when available within a program) via Settings > Accessibility > Subtitle options.

     The easiest method though is to use voice control and just say, 'subtitles'
