I have welcomed TfL's announcement that Eastcote will be one of twelve stations prioritised for step-free access, improving travel across our tube network for residents who require additional assistance.
This comes after many years of campaigning to see more step-free access rolled out across our tube network, particularly in areas of outer London. We have had success in the past locally, with step-free access installed at Ickenham Station.
TfL have confirmed that design work is in progress, which builds on the feasibility work that started last year. Northwood has also been announced as one of seven further stations undergoing an assessment for step-free access feasibility, and I look forward to hearing more news about that in due course.
