Question
To ask the Scottish Government how much money (a) the Serco Caledonian Sleeper and (b) ScotRail has received from Network Rail, following national strike days since July 2022, as a result of any indemnification arrangements.
Answer
I am advised that Clause 14.2 of the regulated Track Access Contracts which govern such arrangements between train operating companies and Network Rail require such information to be held confidential during and after the continuance of the contracts.
The regulation of such contracts is the responsibility of the Office of Rail and Road, acting within the UK Government’s railway legislation.
