Question

Step Free London Underground Stations (2)

Following MQ 2020/0650 can you provide an update on what London Underground Stations a) have been made step free or; b) are planned to become step free?

Answer

Date: Wednesday 17 March 2021

There are now 81 step-free Tube stations on the network. Since my last update in my response to MQ 2020/0650, two more stations - Cockfosters and Amersham - have become step free. These were completed as part of my Accessibility Programme. Please see my response to MQ 2021/1161 which details the other stations in scope for that programme.

 

There are also other stations where full step free access will be delivered as part of wider development schemes; Knightsbridge and Colindale, Battersea Power Station and Nine Elms as part of the Northern line extension and Whitechapel and Ealing Broadway as part of the Elizabeth line. 

 

Transport for London (TfL) is also progressing step-free access work that will make busy zone 1 stations partially step-free. These are at Moorgate (Metropolitan line), Bank (Northern line) and Paddington (Bakerloo line).
