RMT Press Office:
RMT on reports tonight that Scotrail set to default on rail franchise over passenger satisfaction
RMT General Secretary Mick Cash said:
‘The Scotrail franchise has been in disarray for years and passengers have rightly had enough. Recent news that passenger numbers have dropped by more than 1 million proves that the travelling public are shunning Scotrail.
"Scotrail isn’t even on track to meet the lower performance target this year. This should prove to the Scottish Government once and for all that Scotland’s Railways must be brought into public ownership as a matter of urgency.’
