Railway Stations: Disability Aids
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many and what proportion of train platforms have tactile platforms.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
Using £75m of government funding, Network Rail have recently completed a programme to install platform edge tactiles at all mainline stations that did not have them in place or where they were planned to be installed as part of another enhancement or renewal project. This leaves 20 stations across Britain without tactiles out of a total of 2585 stations, with the majority of these to be installed this year or early in 2026.
