To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what progress he has made in installing tactile paving on all station platforms by 2025.
Answer
Approximately 60 per cent of British mainline station platforms currently have tactile paving installed. Network Rail has been funded by Government to install tactile paving at all remaining British mainline stations that are otherwise not due to receive tactile paving as part of other planned works. Network Rail has delivery plans in place and contractors engaged and the majority of the work should be completed by April 2024, with the remaining sites completed by 2025 where this best aligns with other planned work.
