Rail unions have warned transport bosses not to close station ticket offices or reduce the number of staff on trains amid fears for passenger safety.
Scotland's railways are gripped by a rising tide of anti-social behaviour which could be made worse by cuts to staffing at stations and on trains, unions have warned.
"Staff assaults and assaults on passengers come against a context of cuts to British Transport Police budgets over recent years, more lone working on trains and unstaffed stations. "This means greater staff and BTP visibility on our trains, which would make them safer and ultimately more attractive for passengers particularly women and disabled people."
A temporary ban on drinking alcohol on ScotRail was introduced in late 2020 as a covid safety measure and remains in place despite many passengers choosing to ignore it on evening and weekend services. "These routes are currently operated with a safety critical guard on board all services whois responsible for despatch and RMT resolutely believes that extending DOO to these lines would worsen passenger safety, security and accessibility."
