The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when her planned timetable is for allocating the next round of Access for All funding.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

Improving the accessibility is an important element of our plan to fix Britain’s broken rail system. The Department is carefully considering the best approach to station accessibility and recognises the huge social and economic benefits it brings to communities. MPs and stakeholders will be updated in due course.
