answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/01/2017 answer text <p>Where toilets are provided on a train, an accessible toilet which meets the requirements of modern accessibility standards needs to be provided. All new trains with toilets are built with accessible toilets as standard, and this has been a requirement since 1999. Trains built before 1999 have until 2020 to comply and the Department is monitoring progress towards this target. Currently 75% of mainline trains are either built or refurbished to modern accessibility standards. This includes the provision of an accessible toilet, where toilets are provided.</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 17/01/2017 09:25:37 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard
