Query about Market Harborough step free access

[OhNoAPacer]

We may need to use Market Harborough Station at some point and my partner has some walking difficulties where steps in particular are a problem. I have been looking online about step free access, or not, at this station but the information on both National Rail and East Midlands site are not clear. Wikipedia says there is a lift, but that is not what I want to be relying on.
I am therefore asking knowledgeable people here if the station is step free or not, and if not how many steps would be encountered.
Thanks in advance.

There is a footbridge with lifts. This is next to the car park on the Up/Southbound/to St Pancras side, which is essentially at track level (just a short little ramp down). There is a pick-up/drop off area 'outside' the paid/barriered car park.

(Do NOT expect to use the main station building or 'front' entrance, which is essentially for able bodied pedestrians and cyclists these days. The former Down side car park doesn't exist any more.)

Thanks for the information.
We would be likely to use the car park, space permitting, so it sounds good for us.

The new car park always seems to have plenty of space. It was sized on the basis of future growth. I have used the new Market Harborough station as a road-rail interchange on several family trips. All very straightforward.

(Just don't get stranded on the exposed station platforms on a freezing cold night because of a 'tip out' after a train failure as I did once. Wasn't even travelling to or from MH on that occasion! )

Before I looked I was already expecting that the NRES station map hasn’t been updated for the major station rebuild, (almost 2 years ago now), and I was right. There’s still a station diagram which doesn’t show the new lifts or footbridge at all. This appears to be a systemic failure.
