Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of disabled access at Wandsworth Common Station.
My Department recently conducted an audit of Wandsworth Common on suitability for passengers with accessibility requirements. The station has been nominated under the Access for All scheme, which has provided step free access routes at over 220 stations and delivered smaller scale enhancements at over 1,500 since the programme was launched in 2006.
We are working with Network Rail to assess nominations at over 300 locations, and I expect to make an announcement on successful schemes later this year.
