Railway Stations: Disability
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will provide funding to improve step-free access at railway stations.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
The Government is committed to improving the accessibility of the railway and recognises the social and economic benefits this brings to communities. Since its launch in 2006, the Access for All programme has delivered step free access at more than 250 stations across Great Britain.
Since April 2024, Access for All projects have entered into passenger service at nine stations, with a further 25 stations scheduled to enter into passenger service by April 2025.
