1300 individual stations have seen a level of enhancement due to contributions from
Government funded programmes such as Access for All and the National Stations Improvement
Programme since 2010. This is in addition to major projects at stations such as Birmingham

at stations, for example through the Minor Works Budget or Station Improvement Fund.
