Shadow Transport Minister, Graham Simpson, has welcomed plans by the UK Government to ensure every train station in the UK has tactile edging.
The Central Scotland MSP's call comes after a constituent, who is registered blind, contacted him to raise concerns about the lack of tactile edging at a number of stations in Lanarkshire – including Bellshill and Uddingston.
Following the tragic death of a blind passenger at Eden Park station in London in February 2020, the UK Government committed to fit tactile paving on all railway platforms by March 2029 with most of the work to be carried out by 2024-2025.
