Asked by Sir Oliver DowdenConservativeDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 17 June 2025UIN 58611

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what her Department’s timetable is for announcing the next steps of the Access for All programme.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

Access for All (AfA) funds accessibility improvements to station infrastructure and to date has delivered over 260 additional step-free stations across Britain.

We have funded Network Rail to undertake feasibility studies on 50 stations which could be upgraded through AfA and plan to update stakeholders during the summer.
