One of the changes that the Minister made when he was commissioner at TfL, whose board I had a great deal of pleasure sitting on with the noble Lord, Lord Moylan, was to think about how to do accessibility in a different way. Rather than putting all the budget at the back end of the project and not being able to do much with the money, it became about what you could do with accessibility right at the start if you were redesigning stations. That significantly improved the number of accessible stations on the network and it was a realistic way in which to do it. I should like to consider how we can do something with Access for All, because that feels far too removed from the process of improving accessibility.
