<p>As I mentioned to my hon. friend in the chamber this morning, the Government has
recently made £350 million available to add another 209 stations to the Access for
All programme. The stations he mentioned (Dewsbury, Shepley and Mirfield) were not
successful in that round of money, but I would be delighted to meet and work with
him to ensure that those stations get the funding they deserve, because our rail network
needs to be accessible for everybody. Furthermore, Dewsbury and Mirfield stations
are part of the TransPennine Route Upgrade programme which includes options to improve
accessibility.</p><p> </p>
