Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it plans to fulfil the 2016 agreement between ScotRail and the RMT union that there would be a guaranteed safety critical conductor on every new electrified train.
Answer
This is an operational matter for ScotRail, noting that in 2016 any agreement was with the private company, Abellio ScotRail, but ScotRail is now operated by a new, publicly owned company.
