Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what proportion of the £18 million investment in train stations to date by the South West Trains-Network Rail Alliance was from his Department's Access for All Fund; and which stations have benefited and from how much expenditure in each case.
The figure of £18m invested in stations has been included in a recent news release put out by the South West Trains-Network Rail Alliance. My understanding is that this figure represents the investment made in the financial year 2013/14, but the total investment made during the period over which these schemes were completed is £34m, £17.5m of which came from the Department's Access for All fund and is split as follows:
A full list of the stations where small schemes have been delivered can be requested directly from the South West Trains-Network Rail Alliance.
