Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 21 July 2016 to Question 43142, what progress he has made on providing a further round of accessibility funding for (a) lifts and (b) other accessibility devices at mainline railway stations; and if he will make a statement.
We remain committed to improving access at stations and building on the success of the Access for All programme. We will therefore be seeking additional funding for the programme in the next rail control period from 2019 to 2024 and we will announce later this year the Government’s railway funding and high level strategy for this period.
