They have announced the two-hourly service will be enhanced by four extra journeys from May 2015 for an experimental period of three years. There are no UK Government plans to extend these extra services to Birmingham as the half-hourly frequency between Shrewsbury and Birmingham is considered sufficient to meet passenger demand.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 12/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond

We have also asked a number of train operating companies for proposals to implement DR15 before their contract expires; and will introduce DR15 if the proposals are affordable and represent value for money for taxpayers.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 28/11/2017 16:42:56 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/11/2018 answer text <p>Access for All is already due to provide an accessible route into the station and to and between all platforms, including access to one of the car parks. As only around a fifth of UK stations have proper step free access we intend to target the new tranche of funding at stations that disabled passengers are unable to use, ensuring that Access for All will benefit the maximum number of people across the country. Additional scope at existing projects, such as an extra ramp, would therefore need to have third party funding.</p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 26/11/2018 16:58:11 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani
