Railway Stations: Access

Asked by Suella BravermanReform UKDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 8 September 2025UIN 70599

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what support is available to local authorities seeking to provide match funding for accessibility upgrades at stations.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

Network Rail and train operators will always be available to advise local authorities on how funding contributions could be used to support station accessibility upgrades. This can happen on both a stand-alone basis, and as part of national nomination processes for the Access for All programme.
