Part of the debate – in the Scottish Parliament at on 25 January 2018.
I am pleased that the minister understands the frustration that is felt. I am sure that he understands how frustrating it is when someone who is standing on a platform, waiting for the train to come, sees the train going right past them. People can be left waiting for an hour, which results in their being late for work.
The
Dunfermline Press has launched a crush hour campaign—the name speaks for itself. Masses of rail users in Fife are horrified at the service that they are getting. Will the minister agree to meet me, so that we can go through the detail of all the problems?
People have been patient, but they have waited long enough. We need action. Will the minister consider taking the railways back into public ownership so that the profits can be invested in the railways and we can address the unacceptable situations that occur on the Fife circle rail route?
