Rail 2014

Scotrail train

Transport Scotland are consulting on the future of Scotland’s railways. The contract for rail passenger services (ScotRail) finishes in 2014 and new arrangements need to be put in place. Transport Scotland want Scotland’s rail services to be developed with passenger interests at the heart.

The consultation asks a wide range of questions but does not specifically address issues for disabled people. SDEF would therefore like to share the views of disabled passengers with Transport Scotland.

The SDEF briefing on the topic is available online.

We have decided to focus on three main issues:

-       Accessibility of stations

-       Passenger experience

-       Passenger information

If you would like to respond please fill in our short online questionnaire after reading our briefing.
