  • 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 the first “acknowledges” to end and insert "notes Transform Scotland’s observations that 'railways north of the central belt remain uncompetitive with the roads and are due to worsen'; recognises that some rail journey times between Glasgow/Edinburgh and Aberdeen have increased since 2007; further notes the failure of the Scottish Government to take forward the Aberdeen Crossrail project, which included the reopening of the Kintore station and recognises the ongoing overcrowding on services between Inverurie, Dyce and Aberdeen, and calls on the Scottish Government to focus on improving journey times and rail links to, and in, the north east.”
