To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what estimate his Department has made of the cost of making all UK rail stations compliant with the Equality Act 2010.

Compliance with the Equality Act 2010 is the responsibility of individual train operating companies. However, the Act does not necessarily require changes to physical infrastructure, only that operators make reasonable adjustments to allow disabled passengers to
access their services. Legally this can be achieved by providing a free accessible taxi to the next station that the passenger can use, but that is not an ideal arrangement and the Department is keen, through its Access for All programme, to make as many stations fully accessible as possible.
The Department for Transport has not assessed the cost of providing every station in the country with step free access.
