Member of Parliament, Simon Baynes is campaigning on local transport issues in Clwyd South, and this week raised the issue of funding for step-free access at Ruabon train station in the House of Commons.
The train station at Ruabon currently has two flights of stairs which passengers must use in order to access the platform. It is also the only station on the line that does not meet step-free access needs for passengers.
Wales Office Minister, David TC Davies MP said, in response to Mr Baynes’ question in the Chamber:
“I’d be delighted to discuss step-free access at Ruabon station with the Hon. Gentleman, and I hope that I will be able to give him news of much greater infrastructure projects to rail and road that will be on offer to Wales as soon as this crisis is over.”
Simon Baynes MP said:
“Many representatives, organisations and residents in Ruabon have been campaigning for step-free access at Ruabon Station for several years and I am very pleased to add my support to their campaign. This project is needed to make sure all passengers can access the jobs and leisure opportunities that will make our community an even greater place to live and work. And I’m looking forward to discussing it with Ministers at the Wales Office and the Treasury to see what can be done for Ruabon residents.”
