PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Railway Stations: Greater London (11 December 2017)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking to increase the number of accessible stations in south-west London.

Asked by:
Marsha De Cordova (Labour)

Answer

We are committed to improving station accessibility and have continued with the Access for All programme which has delivered more than 160 accessible routes at stations, including Clapham Junction and Whitton. We will be making further funding available in the next Rail Control Period (2019-24) and stations across London will be eligible. Further details will be announced as soon as possible. In addition, whenever the industry installs, replaces or renews station infrastructure it must meet current accessibility standards.
