Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what progress his Department has made in implementing the first recommendation of the Rail Accident Report by the Rail Accident Investigation Branch into a person struck by a train at Eden Park station on 26 February 2020.

The Department has been working closely with Office of Rail and Road, Network Rail and the Rail Safety and Standards Board regarding RAIB’s recommendations to the Department.

We expect industry to meet current accessibility requirements whenever it installs, renews or replaces station infrastructure, and under the Williams-Shapps Plan for Rail work has started to review standards and how they are better implemented by the industry in the future.
