RAIL chiefs are installing lifts at four train stations in and around Glasgow as part of a Government Access For All nationwide programme which is costing £370million.

Lifts are being fitted at stations in Mouth Florida in Glasgow, Motherwell and Rutherglen in South Lanarkshire as well as Barrhead in East Renfrewshire, Network Rail has announced.

Transport Minister Stewart Stevenson MSP said: "It is a key Scottish Government priority that access to transport links is made easier for all passengers.

"I am therefore pleased that this investment will bring valuable benefits and increase opportunities to travel through improved station access."

The Access For All programme is part of the Government's 10-year "railways for all" strategy which has resulted in £370m being put aside for station accessibility improvements.
