Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment his Department has made of the effectiveness of the Access for All programme; whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential merits of reinstating that programme.

The Department continues to support and fund the Access for All programme. Since its inception in 2006, the programme has installed around £900m worth of accessible, step free routes at over 200 stations plus a range of smaller scale access improvements at around 1500 stations, across Britain. We are currently assessing over 300 station nominations in anticipation of a further round of funding beyond 2024.
