Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many railway stations in England have tactile paving on platforms to help visually impaired people.

In England, 1,825 main line stations have full or partial tactile paving at platform edges. We have made £75m available to Network Rail to install platform edge tactiles at all main line stations across Great Britain that do not already have them, or where they are not due to be installed by another workstream. When the programme started in July 2021, 710 stations in England did not have tactiles installed on some or all platforms. Since July 2021, tactiles have been installed at more than 550 stations, with the remainder within the programme due to complete by 2025.
