Nominated stations will be selected based on their annual footfall, weighted by the incidence of disability in the area. We will also take into account local factors such as proximity to a hospital or the availability of third party funding for the project. We will also ensure that there is a fair geographical spread of projects across the country.</p><p> </p><p>West Midland Train’s application to the AfA fund is going to come via the West Midlands Station’s Alliance. This is a unique arrangement where the Train Operating Company has come together with Network Rail and local government (in the form of the West Midlands Rail Executive) to improve the coordination between the various parties responsible for station assets. This includes better alignment of the incentives to invest in station enhancements.</p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 05/11/2018 16:04:24 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani
