Anger Over Rail Service Cuts

Scotrail announced that 1/3 of their Sunday services are being cut

The Scottish Government has been criticised by opposition MSPs over cuts to rail services on Sundays.

Scotrail, which is run by Abellio, say they're reducing services by around 1/3 because of ongoing driver unavailability. Opposition MSPs say the SNP need to respond to the dispute, as they awarded to 6-billion-pound contract to the Dutch firm last year.

It has emerged Dutch firm Abellio, who run the franchise, did not bid for the service on the basis of a seven day working week.
