Due to changes made to the official Scottish Parliament website at the start of 2011, our parser that used to fetch their web pages and convert them into more structured information has stopped working. We’re afraid we cannot give a timescale as to when we will be able to cover the Scottish Parliament again. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Murdo Fraser (Conservative) | Question S3W-40347
To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will outline the planned investment to improve Perth train station.
Keith Brown (Scottish National Party)
ScotRail is currently finalising designs for the refurbishment of public toilets at Perth Station, which is expected to take place this summer. The refurbishment will be funded through the Station Investment Fund.
Network Rail is also developing plans to install three new lifts and a footbridge to provide step free access to all platforms at the station. The work will be funded through the Department for Transport’s "Access for All" Fund, and is expected to commence in late 2012.
This is in addition to the £350,000 invested to renew the Customer Information System (CSI), as well as installing CCTV and expanding the station car park.
