Transforming Scotland's Railways - Amendment
- Submitted by: Patrick Harvie, Glasgow, Scottish Green Party.
- Date lodged: Wednesday, 29 May 2013
- Motion reference: S4M-06766.4
- 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 first “acknowledges” to end and insert “recognises the constraints under which the ScotRail franchise must operate as a result of UK legislation, but considers that the Scottish Government could ensure greater transparency in its franchise decisions; believes that, when Scotland is able to remove the constraints of UK legislation, renationalisation of the railways or the use of a non-profit franchise holder would deliver better value for the public investment in Scotland’s railways; condemns the UK Government’s plans to reprivatise the profitable East Coast line, a decision that it understands was announced without reference to the Scottish Government; expresses concern that the Scottish Government’s road-building priorities risk making rail uncompetitive on price and journey times for routes north of the central belt, and believes that the public money currently committed to upgrading the A9 would be better spent on rail infrastructure, including the comparatively modest upgrades required to improve the Highland main line.”
