Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to improve accessibility at Torre railway station; and whether she plans to prioritise that station for accessibility funding.

This government is committed to improving the accessibility of the railway and recognises the social and economic benefits this brings to communities.

Under the previous government, nominations were sought for funding through the Access for All programme in 2022. A total of 310 nominations were received from Network Rail, train operating companies (TOCs) and other strategic transport organisations. This did not include Torre railway station.

The Honourable Member may wish to engage with the local transport authority and Great Western Railway to ensure Torre station is a priority in any future rounds of funding.
