Rail minister Tom Harris has announced that five more stations in Scotland are set to benefit from the Government's £370 million Access for All scheme.
Easterhouse, Hyndland, Linlithgow, Montrose and Perth stations will receive step-free access from the station entrance to platforms.
Access for All was launched in 2006 to address the issues faced by disabled passengers using railway stations in Great Britain.
Until 2015 £35 million per year has been ring-fenced for the provision of obstacle free, accessible routes into and between platforms at rail stations.
