More Access for All - or is it just a repeat announcement?

[swt_passenger]

...announced yesterday, within this DfT statement:

In addition, the department has made available an additional £100 million funding to extend the Access for All programme from 2015 until 2019 and deliver improvements at 42 more stations. Also, continuing with the successful re-launch of the franchising programme we now require a franchise operator to consider improvements to the door to door journey experience for its customers, in line with our door to door strategy.

Reads as though this will be in addition to those already listed in the CP5 enhancement delivery plans, so I guess there'll be a new list of stations to be given the works in the next edition of the plan...

Is this another government "announcement" where things that are already confirmed get announced every few months in order to make it look like they're doing more than they actually are?

Perhaps it is a repeat. Just looked it up and the '42' seems familiar...

Yeah its a repeat, they already announced the funding for 2015-2019.
