Motion · S6M-01675 · 13 Oct 2021

East Kilbride Rail Line Dualling

Lodged by Graham Simpson (Reform UK ) Members' Business Motion 23 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament notes the reported announcement by Transport Scotland that the single track part of the rail line between East Kilbride and Glasgow is not now going to be dualled as, it understands, had previously been promised, and that the money will be spent elsewhere; sees this is a missed opportunity to persuade more people to travel by train; notes the view that improving public transport connections is vital if Scotland is to achieve a shift away from cars, and further notes calls on the Scottish Government to reconsider what it believes to be this short-sighted move.
