To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to his Answer of 5 March 2021 to Question 158995, when Network Rail plans to deliver a costed plan for a wider roll out of platform edge tactiles for stations, where tactiles are not being delivered under another programme; and what assessment he has made of whether a faster roll out of tactiles at stations is possible.
Chris Heaton-Harris
Minister of State (Department for Transport)
We are working with Network Rail to potentially accelerate the roll out of tactile edge paving, including a funding plan by autumn 2021.
Tactiles will be installed on over 100 accessible routes as part of Access for All programme by 2024. Whenever the industry installs, replaces or renews platform infrastructure, it must install tactiles.
