Whitchurch station

Early day motion 2172, tabled 29 October 2025 by Helen Morgan (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 6 members.

That this House recognises the need for Whitchurch station to receive platform accessibility upgrades under the Department for Transport’s Access for All programme; expresses concern that disabled passengers, those with heavy luggage, small children or who are otherwise unable to traverse 44 steps, cannot access the station’s southbound platform or exit the station from trains travelling northbound; notes that Network Rail has designated the scheme at Whitchurch Station as high priority; further notes the detrimental impact that the lack of station access has on residents of Whitchurch and north Shropshire; and calls on the Government to confirm upgrades to Whitchurch station under the Access for All programme.
