To ask the Scottish Government how the specific requirements of women using ScotRail services will be addressed from April 2022.
In addition to taking forward a National Conversation on rail, we will be consulting specifically on women’s safety when using public transport.
Specific timescales will be outlined following the discussion underway with relevant representative groups on the preferred approach for carrying out this engagement.
We have already made initial contact with Engender. We will also engage with groups who represent women working on our public transport network to capture the views of female staff.
