Transport for the North has conducted research focused on understanding the accessibility of rail stations in the North of England from the perspective of passengers, with particular interest in the voices of those with health conditions or illnesses. This report identifies accessibility challenges that respondents face when using rail stations and how these barriers affect their journeys.
Our Northern Appraisal Playbook is a practical guide packed with advice and tools to help strengthen your business cases for transport investment in the North.
Mobility hubs in rural areas, developed in partnership with local communities, can integrate various transport options with wider services, which could help improve access to essential services and provide sustainable travel options. Our research, delivered with Northern Transport Voices, provides new evidence on the potential impact of mobility hubs in rural areas by exploring the attitudes of rural residents towards mobility hubs, and identifies policy considerations for the development and design of mobility hubs in rural areas based on user perspectives.
Our recent research and evidence for rural mobility utilises our Analytical Framework, to assess rural mobility across England, the North and North Yorkshire, advancing the evidence base that can support our local partners in improving rural connectivity.
