Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to help ensure access for those with mobility issues at train stations, including reliable access to lifts, ramps, and waiting rooms.
We are continuing to deliver the Access for All programme that has made more than 270 stations accessible including 36 in the last two years. In January 2026 we confirmed that 8 Access for All projects will be progressing directly to delivery and 23 projects will undergo design work for potential future delivery.
In November 2025 the Department published the Accessibility Roadmap which sets out the accessibility improvements being delivered ahead of the establishment of Great British Railways. This includes improving the reliability of key accessibility facilities - ensuring that lift and escalator reliability remain a top priority for accessible travel and introducing better monitoring by operators, so faults are identified and rectified more quickly.
