Whitchurch Station: Access

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans she has to ensure step-free access to Whitchurch Railway Station.

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.

Given the short time since the general election, I regret I am not yet able to comment on next steps regarding specific stations including Whitchurch station. We are carefully considering the best approach to the Access for All programme and we will provide updates to MPs and other stakeholders in due course.
