Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to ensure Northwich Station is accessible to people with disabilities and mobility restrictions through the Access For All programme.

We have extended the access for All programme with a further £350m that will make over 100 more stations accessible by 2024. Northwich was not nominated for the programme but could be proposed for the future.

The Government is committed to improving access at all stations, and will continue to seek further funding to make more improvements. However, if the industry carries out any station infrastructure work this will need to comply with current accessibility standards.
