We recently added 73 stations to the £300m Access for All programme, which provides accessible routes at stations. Network Rail will engage with local disability groups to ensure that designs meet the needs of all passengers.<\/p>

£20m of this funding is available for smaller scale access improvements and we will welcome nominations for projects that provide improvements for non-visible disabilities, such as autism.<\/p>

Direct awards and future franchise replacements will also require train operators to deliver staff disability training which includes awareness of non-visible disabilities.<\/p>
