Rail

The Government is committed to providing an accessible public transport system in which disabled people have the same opportunities to travel as other members of society. The Railways for All Strategy explains what Great Britain's railway industry is doing to improve access for disabled people. It describes what is being done to improve information, stations and trains and explains how the £370m Access for All funding will be used to improve access at stations.

This section also contains information on technical standards including the RVAR (train) and Code of Practice (stations).
