Railway stations' disabled boost7.50.49am UTC (GMT +0000) Wed 7th Mar 2007 Seventeen railway stations in the South East are getting a share of more than £500,000 towards improved disabled access and facilities.

It will be spent on facilities such as access ramps, lifts, low-level ticket counters and disabled toilets. The stations receiving funding include 10 in Kent, five in Surrey and two in West Sussex. About £270,000 will be shared between Walton-on-Thames, Guildford, Staines, Haslemere and Bookham stations in Surrey. In West Sussex, about £30,000 will be spent in Chichester and Littlehampton. And in Kent, stations at Chatham, Faversham, Herne Bay, Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge, East Farleigh, Whitstable, West Malling, Gravesend and Sittingbourne will share just under £230,000 of funding.
