Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail any steps her Department has taken to improve the accessibility of railway stations in North Down, since 2020.

Answer:

In June 2025, Translink completed the access ramp at Marino station, that is compliant with the Disability Discrimination Act.

I can also advise that Translink is undertaking a project to develop a strategy for improving accessibility across its rail network. This initiative will involve an assessment of accessibility features at all locations across the rail network. The project has included stakeholder engagement with Disabled People’s Organisations to ensure the work being undertaken reflects their needs and priorities. This project will help to inform future investment in the rail network, subject to the availability of future funding.
