Mary Creagh – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Mary Creagh on 2016-01-14.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many and what proportion of UK railway stations have steps but no lift access.

Claire Perry

Information on the facilities available at individual stations is collected and held by the Association of Train Operating Companies, rather than the Department. However, we understand that around 460 stations in the UK have step free access to and between all platforms. I also note that both railway stations in the Hon Member’s constituency – Wakefield Westgate and Wakefield Kirkgate – are now step free.
