Railway Stations: Runcorn and Helsby
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment she has made of adequacy of the support provided for people with mobility issues to access train stations in Runcorn and Helsby constituency.
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. Since its launch in 2006, the Access for All programme has delivered step free access at more than 250 stations across Britain.
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 stations in the Runcorn and Helsby constituency. Once we can confirm our approach to Access for All programme, we will ensure MPs and stakeholders are informed.
