Question
To ask the Scottish Government how the ScotRail consultation, Fit for the Future, fits with the Scottish Government's commitment to encourage a modal shift to increase the use of public transport.
Answer
ScotRail’s proposed timetable for May 2022 would provide more seats than the current timetable, responding to changing travel patterns. By also offering more service options this will help encourage passengers to choose train over car.
