Improved Accessibility at Stirling Railway Station

Lodged by Keith Brown (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 15 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the opening of the new footbridge and lift at Stirling railway station, which makes platforms 9 and 10 fully accessible; recognises that, since the Stirling to Alloa railway line opened in 2008, both Transport Scotland and Network Rail have been working to find a solution to improve accessibility for passengers using the service; understands that the enhancement was part of the wider project to electrify the Stirling-Dunblane-Alloa route as part of a Scottish Government-funded investment delivered by Network Rail, and considers that the £4 million investment will be welcomed by local people, will make a real difference to passengers with limited mobility and helps to make the railway more accessible to everyone in the community.
