Can I thank the Member for his question? I highlighted to Nick Ramsay how we intend to spend, specifically, £15 million of the nearly £200 million available for station improvements specifically on improving access for disabled people. I will be writing to Members as soon as we have put together the tool that will measure which stations should be prioritised. I recognise that a number of Members in this Chamber represent constituencies with communities that currently have platforms that can't be accessed by disabled people. I wish to ensure that the tool that's adopted to measure the priority stations is one that is transparent, easily understood and is fair. I'll be writing to Members with details of that tool as soon as possible.
