Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to improve access for people with disabilities at rural train stations.

The Access for All programme has delivered 140 accessible routes at stations, with a further 78 due for completion by 2019. More than 1,100 stations have also received smaller scale access improvements and many of these have been at rural stations. Any infrastructure work carried out at stations must meet UK and EU accessibility standards.
