Transforming Scotland's Railways - Amendment
- Submitted by: Elaine Murray, Dumfriesshire, Scottish Labour.
- Date lodged: Wednesday, 29 May 2013
- Motion reference: S4M-06766.2
- Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Thursday, 30 May 2013
As an amendment to motion S4M-06766 in the name of Keith Brown (Transforming Scotland's Railways), leave out from "high levels" to end and insert "; believes that this is due to the importance attached to improving rail services by successive administrations since May 1999; is disappointed however that the first phase of the Edinburgh Glasgow Improvement Programme has been scaled back, that projects such as the Borders Railway have experienced significant delays and that others, including the Glasgow Airport Rail Link, have been cancelled altogether; notes that the level of public subsidy for Scotland's railways in 2013-14 will be £511.5 million; further notes the publication of Rail Cymru - A People's Railway for Wales and Rebuilding Rail in 2012, and believes that the renewal of the rail franchises in 2015 should be an opportunity for discussion of the future development of rail services in Scotland, including the option of a not-for-profit or mutual company running Scotland's railways."
