(5 December 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department has allocated funding for step-free access improvements at stations on C2C routes.

Asked by:
James McMurdock (Independent)

Answer

This government is committed to improving the accessibility of Britain’s railway and recognise the social and economic benefits this brings to communities. Since its launch in 2006, the Access for All programme has delivered step free upgrades at more than 250 stations across Britain. 11 stations have been upgraded since April 2024 with a further 20 due to complete by the end of March 2025.

Ministers are carefully considering the best approach to the Access for All programme and we will ensure MPs and stakeholders are kept informed.
