Flitwick Station and Harlington Station: Access
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will provide capital funding to deliver Access for All schemes at a) Flitwick and b) Harlington.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
The Flitwick station Access for All project is currently in the design stage. A delivery timetable, including a completion date, will be confirmed once the design has been finalised.
The previous Government chose not to shortlist Harlington station for accessibility upgrades in 2024. As such, there are currently no plans to upgrade Harlington station, and funding for the current round of funding under the Access for All programme has been fully allocated.
Future funding will be considered as part of the next Spending Review, which may provide an opportunity for stations such as Harlington.
The process and timings for future rounds have not yet been decided, though the programme will be reformed as part of the transition to Great British Railways.
