Scottish nationalists and Conservatives unite to reject motion to nationalise ScotRail

SCOTTISH nationalists and Conservatives in Holyrood united to reject a Labour motion today to nationalise Scotland’s failing railways.

The motion called upon the Scottish Parliament to take over the ScotRail franchise and terminate Dutch state company Abellio’s contract at the earliest chance.

Although backed by the Scottish Greens and trade unions, the vote fell by 85 to 34.
