Question
To ask the Scottish Government how many trains in each of the last five years have used toilets that disperse waste on the tracks, also broken down by the volume of waste matter dispersed each year.
Answer
This is an operational matter for all train operating companies in Scotland and as such the Scottish Government does not hold the information.
Through the franchise contract the Scottish Government has specified and funded the removal of all ScotRail carriages that discharge waste to the track.
