Access for All has delivered step free routes at 202 existing stations, since its launch in 2006.

Access improvements are also delivered as part of other major projects, such as the 40 Crossrail stations which will be made accessible, and by the industry itself, which must meet current accessibility standards whenever it installs, replaces or renews station infrastructure.

Details of all works since control period 1 are held by the individual organisations and the information on the facilities available at stations is collected and held by the Rail Delivery Group.
