PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Railway Stations: Disability (6 December 2021)

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to his Department's press release of 26 February 2021, what progress he has made in improving facilities for disabled passengers at each of the 124 stations awarded funding through the Access for All programme; and if he will estimate when the accessibility improvements will be completed for each station where the works have not been finished; and if he will make a statement.

Asked by:
Ed Davey (Liberal Democrat)

The Access for All programme has delivered step free accessible routes at more than 200 stations and smaller scale access improvements at more than 1500 stations. All Access for All projects are due to be completed by 2024.

We have made progress in completing the 124 stations due to receive funding under the Mid-Tier programme, with works at 4 stations already completed and the remaining stations in various stages of development and design. Further details can be found at:
