Portchester Station: Disability
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to improve disabled access at Portchester train station.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
This Government remains committed to improving railway accessibility and recognises the social and economic benefits it brings to communities. There are no immediate plans to improve step-free access at Porchester station and all current funding under the government’s Access for All programme has been allocated to existing projects. Nominations for future funding rounds will be strengthened by strong industry support and third-party match funding. In the meantime, passengers unable to use the station can book assistance through South Western Railway.
