Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of the number of Changing Places toilet facilities in train stations.

Changing Places toilets are designed to meet the needs of people with profound multiple learning and physical disabilities and the Government supports their provision at railway stations.

I can confirm that there are 18 Changing Places toilets in Network Rail and Train Operating Company managed stations. They are:

Birmingham New Street

Bridgend

Brighton

Crewe

Glasgow Central

Leeds

Llandudno

London Bridge Station

London Kings Cross

London Paddington

London Victoria

London Waterloo

Nottingham

Port Talbot Parkway

Reading

Sutton

Swansea

York

In the March Budget 2020 it was announced that a £30 million Changing Places Fund would be launched to increase the provision of Changing Places toilets in existing public buildings.
