Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent steps her Department has taken with Network Rail to make Whitchurch railway station fully accessible.

As part of the Prime Minister’s Network North announcement, the Government confirmed £350m of additional funding will be made available to improve the accessibility of stations across Great Britain. We are assessing over 300 nominations for Access for All funding, including a nomination for Whitchurch railway station. If successful, the funding will create an obstacle free, accessible route from the station entrance to platforms. Successful nominations will be announced in due course.
