Railway Stations: North East
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to ensure that rail stations in the North East meet accessibility standards.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
This government is committed to improving the accessibility of Britain’s railway and recognise the social and economic benefits this brings to communities.
In the North East, five Access for All projects have been undertaken, four of which are now complete, with one currently under construction. Nominations for future rounds of funding will benefit from strong industry support and a proportion of third party match funding.
