Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make an assessment of the potential impact of the Railways Bill on accessibility at train stations.
Answered by Keir Mather - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
The Railways Bill places a statutory duty on Great British Railways (GBR) to promote the interests of passengers, and in particular the needs of disabled passengers, when carrying out its statutory functions. This means accessibility will be embedded at the heart of GBR’s decision-making and reflects the Government’s vision for a railway that is inclusive and accessible to all.
