Ulverston Station: Access

Asked by Tim FarronLiberal DemocratDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 2 July 2025UIN 62167

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when she plans to make funding available to complete accessibility work at Ulverston station.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

In May 2024, the previous government agreed the publication of a list of 50 additional stations selected for initial feasibility work, which included Ulverston railway station. We are in the early stages of understanding the full implications of the Spending Review for the Access for All programme and other rail projects and will engage with stakeholders in due course.

We are committed to improving the accessibility of the railway and recognise the social and economic benefits this brings to communities.
