Consultation next week to help improve disabled access at Insch Station

A public consultation to discuss accessibility at Insch Station will be held next week.

Insch is the only station in the north-east where step-free access to both platforms is not provided.

Earlier this year, regional transport body Nestrans secured funding from Transport Scotland for a study to find out how best to improve accessibility at the site.

And now, a number of options have been put forward for the local community to voice their opinions on.

On Monday, rail users from Insch and the surrounding community can view the options and have their say at a drop-in session in the platform two waiting room, from 2pm-7pm.

Campaigners in the local community have long called for the station to be made suitable for people with disabilities or other mobility issues.

Councillor Peter Argyle, the chairman of Nestrans, said: “We believe that everyone should have equal access to the rail network, whether they have mobile difficulties, need to sue a wheelchair or wish to take children in a pushchair.

“This is a crucial piece of work to determine the untapped potential in and around Insch, and I would encourage members of the community to come along, see the possibilities and let us know their views.”
