Asked by Alicia KearnsConservativeDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 26 February 2025UIN 31201

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she plans to re-open the Access for All fund.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

This 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 (AfA) programme has delivered step free access at more than 250 stations across Britain. £350m is currently allocated to the Access for All programme until 2028/29. MPs and other stakeholders will shortly be updated on our approach to AfA.
