Part-time service

I THOUGHT it somewhat amusing that the Scottish Government chose April 1 to nationalise ScotRail.

No one is laughing now when we see rail prices increased and 30 per cent of all scheduled train journeys slashed for many months to come.

We will never get travellers out of their cars by raising prices, and there is now little chance of getting any train that suits your needs as Scottish rail services are now basically part-time only. DENNIS FORBES GRAttAN,
