Written Question
Railway Stations: Disability
Monday 14th July 2014

Asked by: Lord Benyon (Crossbench - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to ensure disabled rail users can access all platforms at rural stations.

Answered by Stephen Hammond

By 2015 the Access for All programme will have spent over £400m providing accessible routes at more than 150 stations since its launch in 2006. An additional £100m, to fund a further 42 projects up to 2019, was allocated in April 2014. More than 1,100 stations have also benefitted from smaller scale access improvements under the programme. Many of these projects have been at rural stations and are over and above accessibility improvements delivered as part of other station infrastructure works.
