SCOTLAND cannot meet its environmental obligations without a world-class rail service that gets travellers out of cars and lorries and onto trains, a report by rail unions said today.
A Vision for Scotland’s Railways, jointly published by Unite, Aslef, TSSA and the RMT and launched at Holyrood rally, outlines a transformative agenda for the future of passenger and freight services.
The ScotRail franchise will be taken back into public control next March due to repeated service failures, cancellations, late-running trains and poor management.
EDDIE DEMPSEY explains why the RMT is calling for urgent action against assaults on staff and passengers on our public transport system
