Our improvements will deliver more seats, more services and a new station

infrastructure improvements across the country are all part of building the best railway Scotland has ever had.”

Bill Reeve, Transport Scotland’s director of rail, added: “Passengers will welcome many of the changes up and down the country, particularly the additional services in the North East and the new Robroyston station just outside Glasgow.

“This shows our significant investment is delivering more seats and more services than ever before.”

A SEX attacker who was described as being like a “dog in heat” as he pounced on a woman has avoided jail.

Konrad Wojcik, 22, struck in the early hours near a block of flats in Glasgow’s Whiteinch in June 2017.

A witness described being shocked when she saw Wojcik on top of his 25-year-old victim.

Wojcik denied a charge of sexual assault during a trial at Glasgow Sheriff Court in October.

But the first offender was found guilty and was put on a community payback order for 12 months.

Wojcik was ordered by Sheriff Ian Fleming to do 150 hours of unpaid work and was put under the supervision of a social worker.

He was also put on the sex offenders’ register.

A woman who spotted the pair initially thought they were a couple.

But witness Caroline McCormack added: “I had a quick look and the man was on top of her.

“She was on the ground. I felt concerned.

“It was quite disturbing, like a dog in heat.”

The witness alerted police before going to help the woman.

Wojcik, now of Gwent, Wales, was later found nearby.
