Revealed: The 25% of Scotland’s stations where trains are more likely to be late than on time

16 Jan 2018

The monthly ScotRail Performance Update has shown that in 19 terminal stations across Scotland, the trains are more likely to be late than on time.

This means that 25% of the 77 terminal stations on the ScotRail network trains are late more than half of the time.

The worst performing station is Milngavie with only 27.5 percent of trains arriving on time, followed closely by Largs at 31.2 percent and Ardrossan Harbour at 35.8 percent

The revelations follow the publication of a consumer report showing that ScotRail was awarded an overall satisfaction rating of only 51 percent, the lowest among all train companies operating in Scotland.

Commenting on the findings, Jamie Greene, Scottish Conservative transport spokesman said:

“This is another depressing performance from ScotRail.

“We all know the state of Scotland’s rail service is simply not good enough, and ultimate responsibility lies with the SNP.

“Commuters who rely on ScotRail’s services are already aware of this terrible record but passengers from these stations will be particularly angry.

“People need to get to work on time and Scotland’s economy needs a transport system that’s fit for purpose.

“The SNP has failed to keep ScotRail on track and provide an efficient service for the travelling public.”
