'It does raise questions about how well capital investment in Scotland’s trains has been handled over the years'
SCOTRAIL have been blasted after it was revealed commuters on a busy Glasgow line are being served by 36-year-old trains.
The trains with the longest continuous use are Class 318s - used on the Glasgow Suburban line - which were built in 1986 and entered service the same year. The data also found that Class 156s have served the West Highland and Glasgow Suburban lines since 1989 and that some carriages in use as part of the Scotland fleet date back to 1976.Scottish Liberal Democrat transport spokesperson Jill Reilly said: “ScotRail is relying on rolling stock that almost dates back to the age of steam.
“Scottish Liberal Democrats are committed to delivering a public transport system that works for all communities, for all ages, and for the climate. That’s why we want to see fares cut, new options for two/three-day a week season tickets and for the government to work with councils to explore new lines, particularly in areas where public transport links are poor.”
David Simpson, ScotRail Service Delivery Director, said: We’re continually working to deliver a cleaner, greener railway for Scotland, making it more and more attractive for people to leave their cars at home and use public transport. “It connects people with jobs, business with customers, tourists with destinations, and it’s delivering a railway of which we can be truly proud.”
