The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, on how many days were disabled accessible lifts at train stations recorded as being out of use for each year from 2015 to date.

Answered by Keir Mather

This information is not held by the Department. The Office of Rail and Road publish biannual statistics containing data on passenger lifts at Network Rail owned stations in Great Britain on its data portal at the following link: https://dataportal.orr.gov.uk.

This includes information on the number of lifts, lift reliability and lift entrapments.
