Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many railway platforms (a) have and (b) do not have tactile edging on the platform to assist blind and partially sighted people.

The Rail Delivery Group collates and updates data on facilities at stations. Information is published on the National Rail Enquiries website:

It is my ambition to install tactiles across the network. I therefore asked Network Rail to devise a plan for all mainline station platforms across England, Scotland and Wales.
