Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what decisions Network Rail have made about the access improvements that will be completed during Control Period 6 under the Access for All scheme including (1) the expected completion dates of access schemes at stations that were not completed during Control Period 5, and (2) details of the additional stations that will be completed during Control Period 6; and what are the expected completion dates for access improvements.
We remain committed to improving access to the rail network. Network Rail have been asked wherever possible to continue to develop the 26 stations deferred as a result of the Hendy Report so that, upon completion of design work, work can start as soon as possible after April 2019. Exact completion dates will be available once design work is complete. Details of the additional funding available for the next Rail Control Period (2019-24) will be published later this year before we seek industry nominations for new projects.
