Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking in partnership with local transport authorities to improve accessibility at railway stations in the North West.

I remain committed to improving accessibility for all passengers at rail stations. I recently announced the next round of Access for All nominations. Any station currently without step-free access will be eligible.

I am also carrying out a full accessibility audit of all stations in Great Britain to understand where we need to do more to improve accessibility.
