The Govt holds the purse strings.  There are some lists of stations that have been put forward for being made accessible.  You can lose out when others are chosen (and that happens to many) but on the other hand if you never ask you won't get.  New solutions may also be devised and possible over time.  The fragmentation of agencies involved unfortunately makes it worse with National Rail currently building new and replacement bridges over railway lines that are inaccessible.  With a more joined-up approach with grants and funding from other agencies eg crowdfunding and charities and local businesses as well as Govt money more might be achieved.
