New funding will see more accessibility at Lichfield Trent Valley station.

Lichfield MP Michael Fabricant said the Government had committed to spending £300,000 to provide a ramp between the London-bound platform and the rear car park.

It is the latest boost for commuters using the station – although the long-awaited lifts at the multi-level station [have faced lengthy delays](https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/mp-says-delays-on-new-lifts-at-lichfield-trent-valley-are-very-disappointing/) and are not yet open.

The Conservative MP said:

Michael Fabricant

> “Following the funding of two lifts – almost nearing completion – at Lichfield Trent Valley Railway station, the only obvious hindrance to disabled people gaining access to the platforms are the steps leading down from the new car park.  
>  
> “To me, it seemed bizarre in the extreme to build a brand new car park and then make it disabled unfriendly. This was an incredible anomaly in this day and age.  
>  
> “Following meetings I have had with West Midlands Railway who operate the station, Network Rail, and the Department of Transport, money has now been found to provide a wheelchair ramp from the car park to the platform which will not only assist wheelchair-bound passengers, but also those with children’s buggies and heavy luggage.”
