answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2015 answer text <p>We have made significant progress on increasing access. By the end of the year, we expect around 75% of rail journeys to start or end at a step-free station. That is an increase from around 50% when the Access for All programme started. That programme will deliver 151 step-free routes at stations this year. On the buses, only 57% met accessibility regulations in 2009-10. That number is now nearly 90% and rising.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 29/10/2015 13:55:50 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

uin	12020
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/10/2015 answer text <p>Step-free access to trains provides direct access for a passenger from street level to the train via the use of ramps and lifts. Step-free access to platforms provides passengers with direct access from street level to platform via the use of ramps and lifts and further assistance with a ramp is required for those that require it to access the train.</p><p><strong></strong></p><p>In the context of Crossrail, all stations between Paddington and Abbey Wood will have step-free access to train. This means that these stations will have ramps or lifts from the street to the platform, and only a very small gap between platform and train allowing for level boarding when getting on and off a train. Heathrow Airport’s stations at Terminals 1-3 and Terminal 4 will also have step-free access to trains.</p><br /><p>Those stations that Crossrail will serve on the existing network between Stratford and Shenfield and between Acton Mainline and Reading (not including Heathrow Airport) will have step-free access to platform. This means that there will be ramps or lifts from the street to the platform, but there will not be level access to the train without the aid of a ramp deployed by staff.</p><br /><p>All Crossrail stations will be staffed for the entire period that train services are operating, so there will be staff on hand to assist passengers who need to board and alight using platforms ramps.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 20/10/2015 09:48:03 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry

Civil enforcement officers are able to enforce parking contraventions in mandatory cycle lanes, but effective enforcement of moving traffic contraventions, if Part 6 of the Traffic Management Act 2004 were commenced, would require the installation by local authorities of camera systems.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 18/03/2015 11:54:36 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/03/2015 answer text <p>The implementation of the provisions for civil enforcement of mandatory cycle lanes in Part 6 of the Traffic Management Act 2004 would result in the installation by local authorities of camera-based systems to identify contraventions by motorists. Such changes would not be introduced without first consulting with motorists, cyclists and local authorities to establish the merits, or otherwise, of increasing camera-based enforcement. Those powers will not be implemented in this Parliament.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 10/03/2015 15:05:11 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
