A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap
It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...
"£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%.
"This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%"
Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
