I will be speaking on the future for rail in Scotland at today’s RIA Scotland Fringe meeting at SNP Conference with key rail industry leaders


Transport Secretary Fiona Hyslop spoke at the RIA Scotland annual summit today, celebrating the vital role the rail supply chain plays in: 🔹 supporting the wider network 🔹 helping meet climate targets 🔹 creating economic growth Full speech ➡️ bit.ly/3Z9xt09


Interesting to hear CEO @RailPartners Andy Bagnall share his views on Labour’s proposed rail Bill (#libdemconf fringe) - two Liberal Democrats MPs sharing the party line


Two new Holyrood Transport spokespersons - the astute Sue Webber MSP 💜💙 takes over (with grateful thanks to Graham Simpson) & the experienced Claire Baker from fellow Fifer Alex Rowley MSP - we look forward to working with you both (all Transport folios bar Greens now held by women!)

Sincere thanks to Sue Webber MSP 💜💙 and Claire Baker, new Transport shadows for Scottish Conservatives and Scottish Labour respectively, for meeting with RIA Scotland and hearing the concerns of the busy rail supply chain.




ℹ️ We are sorry to any customers who have been disrupted by the ongoing impact of Storm Eowyn on rail services. Work continues today (Sunday) to recover the railway from the very significant damage caused by the storm. Network Rail Scotland , which owns and maintains the railway




Fantastic to visit RIA Scotland Craigentinny Train Depot to learn about their fantastic work servicing the East Coast Mainline trains. I was like a kid with a train set! (Note to self: watch the grease on the Caledonian Sleeper!)




Very juvenile and of course not to be recommended… but my Glaswegian dad used to tell me of squishing big old pennies under a Glasgow tram in 1950s. Couldn’t resist trying with 50 cent euro coin in Dublin yesterday - think it’ll catch on John Mason ?


Busiest annual Scottish Parliament event yet as Sue Webber MSP 💜💙 hosted over 70 rail professionals and a good cross section of MSPs


Ok big kid at heart but who could fail to be charmed by The Jacobite streaming into Glenfinnan this morning RIA Scotland
