Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has had discussions with Govia Thameslink Railway on step free access for the southbound platform at Carshalton Beeches station.

Carshalton Beeches station was nominated for Access for All funding in 2019 but was not selected as other stations in the region better met the selection criteria. The Department looks forward to receiving a further bid for Carshalton Beeches once the nomination process for the next round of the Access for All programme commences shortly.
