Railways in Scotland

As an amendment to motion S1M-03229 in the name of Mr Kenny MacAskill (Railways in Scotland), leave out from “welcomes” to end and insert “expresses its concern that the Scottish Executive is presenting the renewal of the ScotRail franchise as a panacea for all the difficulties faced by Scotland’s railways while offering no guarantees that it can deliver a new franchise within the specified timetable and calls on the Scottish Executive to focus on the immediate priorities for the development of Scotland’s railways and as a first step to bring forward the detail of its financial contribution to the redevelopment of Waverley Station.”
