00:01West Yorkshire Mayor Tracey Braybin says nearly two-thirds of the region's rail stations
00:06remain inaccessible and has urged the government to devolve access for all funding to regional
00:12mayors allowing local prioritisation. The issue was raised over Todd Muddon Station,
00:17where residents have waited seven years for promised lifts. Calder Valley MP Josh Fenton
00:23Glynn has taken the case to Parliament and a Transport Minister pledged action. The mayor
00:28cited past incidents including Paralympian Paul Cartwright being stranded at Dewsbury Station.
00:35Braybin said the lack of accessibility is unacceptable and stressed mayors could ensure
00:40stations are upgraded to serve all passengers safely.
