Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions his Department has had with the Scottish Government on increasing step-free access at rail stations in (a) Angus and (b) Scotland.
My officials and Transport Scotland discuss railway station accessibility at least monthly as part of the governance of the Access for All programme. We have made a further £300m available for Access for All and the Scottish Government have nominated a number of stations from across Scotland for this new funding. We intend to announce the successful stations in April next year.
