ScotRail: media round-up

On Wednesday this week, 38 Degrees members met with Humza Yousaf MSP, the Scottish Government’s Transport Minister, to deliver a nearly 20,000-strong petition calling for action on ScotRail. Our members were fed-up of trains running late, tickets being too expensive, and journeys being cancelled.

By Thursday, we were all over the news – on TV, radio, and in almost every paper in the country.

Below, you’ll find just some of the coverage we received for our campaign to sort out Scotland’s trains. If you want to be part of working out what we do next, click here to take our survey.
