The Department agrees that it is important to provide clear, accessible information for passengers about disabled access to, and facilities at, transport hubs. The Rail Delivery Group (RDG) have a programme that will produce a map of stations on the rail network that are step-free and have accessible toilets. Where train companies produce these, they are added to the Network Rail Stations Made Easy webpage. Bus stations and bus stops are the responsibility of local authorities, and the Department encourages them to make such information publicly available. Airports and ports are run by commercial operators who are required by legislation to make information on access provision available in accessible formats.
