To ask the Scottish Government whether it can instruct Network Rail Scotland to prioritise Springburn railway station for step-free access improvement works, as part of the Access for All scheme.
The Access for All scheme is a UK Government scheme and as such is managed by the UK Department for Transport (DfT).
The Scottish Government has made a case for Springburn railway station to be nominated for Access for All scheme funding for Control Period 7 (2024-2029). We will continue to make representations to the UK Government on this matter.
The Department for Transport is expected to announce which stations will be prioritised for funding through the Access for All scheme this Autumn.
