(asked on 20th January 2023) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many stations do not have wheelchair access to each platform; and what steps he is taking to reduce this number.
This question was answered on 24th January 2023
Around one fifth of stations in Great Britain currently have step free access, but we are improving our understanding of accessibility at stations through a full GB wide audit that is expected to complete by Spring. We continue to improve accessibility through the Access for All programme, which has provided step free accessible routes at over 200 stations so far.
