Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent steps he has taken to improve the on-board train experience for disabled passengers.

Whilst operating under recent social distancing restrictions, train operating companies have continued to offer support and assistance to disabled passengers on-board trains, wherever and whenever it is sought. There are now over 14,000 modern vehicles in service benefit from audio visual passenger information systems, priority seating, dedicated wheelchair spaces and accessible toilets (where toilets are provided) which enhance the usability on-board trains by design.
