Network Rail publish a map showing stations in the Access for All programme which, where feasible, receive an accessible step free route into the station and to and between each platform. The information and maps on the National Rail Enquiries website is published by the Rail Delivery Group, the industry body representing the train operating companies. They are responsible for collecting data on accessibility at each station across the network.
