Railway Stations: Access
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when she expects to announce which schemes will be taken forward under the Access for All programme.
Answered by Keir Mather
This government is committed to improving the accessibility of the railway and recognises the social and economic benefits this brings to communities.
In May 2024, the previous government selected 50 stations for initial feasibility work for potential upgrades as part of the Access for All programme, before delivery funding was secured. On 15 January 2026, we confirmed that 8 Access for All projects will be progressing directly to delivery and 23 projects will undergo design work for potential future delivery.
