Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what his Department's policy is on ensuring access to toilets at railway stations.

It is for Station Operators to meet the needs of their passengers and customers, which includes facilities at stations such as toilets.

As part of the franchise process station users are encouraged to express their views, including on station facilities, through the public consultation. The Department, as the franchise specifying authority, can indicate that bidders should include plans that respond to the outcome of the consultation.
