Railway Stations: Access

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what progress she has made on providing full-step free access at Haydons Road station.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

Following a recent nomination for step free upgrades at Haydons Road station, the Department and rail industry unfortunately identified limited passenger benefits. As such, limited funding is being prioritised to progress other stations which will deliver greater passenger benefits. Wimbledon station is already fully accessible and less than a mile from Haydons Road station and the TfL bus network in the local area is also fully accessible for wheelchair users.
