The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions her Department has had with relevant stakeholders on improving step- free access at train stations in Northumberland.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The Department continues to work closely with Network Rail, train operators and local authorities to improve step-free access at stations in Northumberland.

For example all of the Northumberland Line’s new stations have been designed to be fully accessible. A number of stations in Northumberland have also benefitted from funding under the Access for All programme, including Morpeth and Alnmouth railway stations.
