Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of step-free access at national rail stations in England.

The Department regularly reviews the level of accessibility including data from Rail Delivery Group and passenger demand. We also require the industry to meet current accessibility standards whenever they install, replace or renew station infrastructure and to provide free alternative transport for anyone unable to use a particular station. By the end of 2024 more than 100 additional stations will also receive accessible routes under our Access for All programme.
