Lilian Greenwood – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lilian Greenwood on 2016-09-12.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 12 September 2016 to Question 45155, at which stations will planned Control Period 5 Access for all improvements be deferred into Control Period 6 in connection with his decision to accept the Hendy Review.

Paul Maynard

We are currently working with Network Rail to ensure that the majority of Access for All stations will have at least a design completed in this rail Control Period. This will ensure that stations that have construction deferred will be ready to start on site as early as possible once funding is available again in 2019/20. We expect to announce which stations will be affected shortly.
