Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of installing a passenger lift at Marks Tey station.

This Government is committed to improving the accessibility of the railway and recognises the social and economic benefits this brings to communities. Marks Tey has step free access to all platforms but not between platforms. It was nominated for the Access for All programme but is not among the next tranche of stations selected for feasibility studies by the previous Government.

If any passenger is unable to use the station, they should contact Greater Anglia who will arrange alternative transport at no additional cost.
