Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many stations in England (a) do and (b) do not have step free access; and if he will make a statement.

Around 20% of stations in the UK have step free access to and between every platform, which accounts for approximately 75% of journeys.

We remain committed to continuing to invest in the accessibility of the railway and have made an additional £300m available for our Access for All programme during the next five year Control Period (2019-24).

Information on the facilities available at railway stations is collected and held by the Rail Delivery Group, rather than the Department.

Accessibility information about individual stations is published on the National Rail Enquiries website.
