Baldock Station: Access

Asked by Chris HinchliffLabourDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 2 December 2024UIN 15697

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has made an assessment of the potential merits of disabled access at Baldock station; and whether her Department plans to upgrade access to that station.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

This government is committed to improving the accessibility of Britain’s railway and recognise the social and economic benefits this brings to communities.

Ministers are carefully considering the best approach to the Access for All programme. We are unable to comment on next steps regarding specific stations, including at Baldock station. Once we can confirm our approach to Access for All programme, we will ensure MPs and stakeholders are informed.
