Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what funding the Government makes available to (a) install step free access and (b) otherwise improve disabled access at train stations in England.

The Inclusive Transport Strategy included a commitment to extend our Access for All programme across rail Control Period 6 (2019 to 2024) with an additional £300m of funding from the public purse.

In addition, each of the franchised operators has around £100,000 to £600,000 to spend annually at stations to improve accessibility for disabled people at stations.

Also, upgrades carried out under major projects and planned renewals work must meet current accessibility standards.
