SCOTLAND'S rail unions have called for a meeting with Nicola Sturgeon to discuss the future of the network, accusing the Scottish Government of a “lack of vision” for train services.
Aslef, Unite, the Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers Union (RMT) and the Transport Salaried Staffs’ Association (TSSA) have written to the First Minister a year on from the “A Vision for Scotland’s Railway” report where they outlined their hopes for the network such as removing peak fares, extending concessionary bus travel to the train network and modernising rolling stock.
Aslef’s Kevin Lindsay said it is time for the Scottish Government to “pick whose side they are on”.
