Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans he has to ensure that all rolling stock on Midland Mainline is compliant with disability discrimination legislation by 2020.
It is the responsibility of the operator of the East Midlands franchise to ensure the trains which are currently operated on the Midland Mainline meet modern accessibility standards by 2020. Any trains being introduced on to the line must also be built or modified to be compliant with those standards.
