The SNP government has published a plan for the future of Scotland’s railways. But instead of getting a better deal for the public, the ideas they have put forward include:

• cancelling the sleeper service
• stopping cross border trains that go to beyond Edinburgh, so there are no direct trains from Dundee, Motherwell, Perth, Inverness, Aberdeen to London or anywhere south of the border
• splitting off the more profitable parts of the ScotRail network
• increasing the cost of peak time tickets
• longer journey times to “improve” punctuality – but with fewer trains
• changes on capacity which could result in overcrowding, being told to wait for the next train, or standing the whole journey

This isn't a serious plan for the future of Scotland's railways.
