Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what information her Department holds on when accessibility improvement works will commence at Chorley railway station.

Northern Trains Ltd and Network Rail took the decision to remove the previous contractor due to serious on-site safety concerns and remedial works have taken place. Urgent work is underway to consider how best to deliver accessibility improvements at Chorley station – MPs and other stakeholders will be updated once a viable strategy has been identified.
