Railways: Access

Asked by Andrew CooperLabourDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 30 July 2024UIN 1130

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will take steps to ensure that feedback is provided to applicants for Access for All funding who were not awarded such funding in the announcement on 24 May 2024; and whether she plans to provide further funding under that scheme.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

Given the short time since the general election, I regret I am not yet able to comment on next steps regarding specific station applications through the Access for All programme. However, please be assured that we are committed to improving the accessibility of the railway and recognise the social and economic benefits this brings to communities.
