Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps are being taken to improve access for disabled people at National Rail stations.

By the end of this year the Access for All programme, launched in 2006, will have provided step free routes to more than 150 stations and smaller scale improvements at over 1,100. A further £160m has been allocated to extend the programme until 2019 and the 68 stations to benefit from this were announced last year.

This is in addition to access improvements delivered by other major projects or the industry itself, which must meet UK and EU standards for accessibility.
