The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to improve the availability of tactile paving on platform edges at train stations.

Answered by Keir Mather

All stations in England now have platform edge safety tactiles installed. The final station in Scotland is currently scheduled to have them installed by the end of December and the final station in Wales, currently closed for rebuilding, will have tactiles in place when it reopens in April 2026.
