Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will take steps to introduce step free access at Kirkby-in-Ashfield railway station.

The previous Government chose not to shortlist Kirkby-in-Ashfield station for accessibility upgrades in 2024. As such, there are currently no plans to upgrade Kirkby-in-Ashfield station, and funding for the current round of funding under the Access for All programme has been fully allocated

Future funding will be considered as part of the next Spending Review, which may provide an opportunity for stations such as Kirkby-in-Ashfield.

The process and timings for future rounds have not yet been decided, though the programme will be reformed as part of the transition to Great British Railways.
