Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the potential impact on people with disabilities of staffing unstaffed stations.

Staffing levels at railway stations is a matter for each train operator which are required by the Office of Rail and Road to establish and comply with an Accessible Travel Policy (ATP). An ATP sets out, among other things, the arrangements and assistance that an operator will provide to protect the interests of disabled people using its services and to facilitate such use.
