Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government which types of passenger train operating on which routes allow wheelchair users to board and alight without assistance.

There are a number of classes of rolling stock currently in use, or being introduced into service, that feature lower floors and retractable steps to fill gaps between the train and the platform.

The units are Class 745 and Class 755 operating on routes with Greater Anglia, Class 231 and Class 756 operating on routes with Transport for Wales, and Class 777 on routes with Merseyrail.
