Railway Stations: Access

Asked by Tim FarronLiberal DemocratDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 2 July 2025UIN 62166

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when she plans to announce the outcomes of the Access For All mid-tier scheme.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

We have not currently sought new nominations for another round of mid-tier Access for All funding since 2020 and the successful outcomes were announced by the previous Government at the time.

We are carefully considering the best approach to the Access for All programme. This Government is committed to improving the accessibility of the railway and recognises the social and economic benefits this brings to communities. We are in the early stages of understanding the full implications of the Spending Review for the Access for All programme and will update stakeholders in due course.
