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.
