Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether stations with more than one million yearly journeys will be prioritised in future rounds of Access for All funding.
This government is committed to improving the accessibility of the railway and recognises the social and economic benefits this brings to communities.
Funding for a future round of Access for All may be made available as part of the next Spending Review, which would present an opportunity to deliver full or partial accessibility upgrades at additional stations across Britain.
As part of the establishment of Great British Railways, we will further reform the programme, shaped through engagement with disabled people and local transport bodies, to ensure future investment is targeted where it delivers the greatest benefit.
