Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking to improve accessibility at Carshalton Beeches railway station.

The Access for All programme provides accessibility improvements over and above those required by the rail industry. Carshalton Beeches was nominated for the programme but not selected as it was difficult to justify its inclusion ahead of other busier stations with a higher industry priority.

However, I am committed to improving access at all stations, and will continue to seek further opportunities, and funding, to make more improvements.
