Progress on step-free Tube stations

Transport for London is starting design work on making a further three Tube stations step-free: Alperton, Arnos Grove and Eastcote. They join North Acton and West Hampstead, which were announced earlier this year.

A further seven stations will undergo assessment for step-free access feasibility. This will examine benefits, costs, funding opportunities and impact on customers. The seven are Croxley, East Finchley, Neasden, Northwood, Turnham Green, Colliers Wood and Tooting Broadway.

More than a third of Underground stations currently provide step-free access. TfL says further progress will depend on deliverability and the future funding position, with schemes prioritised where third-party funding is available.
