Railway Stations: Access

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when she plans to seek new nominations for another round of mid-tier Access for All funding.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

Spending Review 2025 confirmed £280m total funding for the Access for All programme over a four-year period. Our focus is on delivering full step free access at stations, rather than the smaller scale upgrades previously delivered under the mid-tier. As such, we have no current plans to fund a future round of mid-tier projects.
