The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment she has made of the accessibility of train stations in England.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The department undertook a comprehensive audit of the accessibility of GB rail station facilities between April 2021 to April 2023. The data is currently available on the Rail Data Marketplace and is being maintained by the rail industry. The data has also been used to update the National Rail Enquiries website with a more substantial redesign of the website’s station information pages under way and due to be delivered this summer.
