question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the difference between step-free access to trains and step-free access to platforms means in the context of plans for different Crossrail stations.
tabling member constituency	East Ham
tabling member printed	Stephen Timms
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

uin	12046
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/10/2015 answer text <p>The Electoral Commission is pleased that the European Union Referendum Bill has been amended to ensure that polling day for the referendum will not be held on the same day as scheduled elections in May 2016 or May 2017. It is important that any debate about the UK’s membership of the European Union takes place at a time that allows the full participation of voters and campaigners, uncomplicated by competing messages and activity relating to other scheduled elections.</p><p>The Commission will continue to consider the operational implications of holding a referendum on any other date before 31 December 2017, and will publish its advice to Parliament on any regulations which specify the day on which the referendum is to be held.</p><p>To inform their planning, the Electoral Commission has also highlighted to Government officials that any date for the referendum that is close to scheduled elections could lead to problems for voters and campaigners because of overlapping timetables for the polls. For example, a referendum held very shortly after elections might require postal votes to be despatched before polling day for the earlier elections.</p><p><strong></strong></p> answering member constituency South West Devon answering member printed Mr Gary Streeter question first answered 19/10/2015 10:27:18 answering member 234 label Biography information for Sir Gary Streeter
