McMillan Raises Concerns Over Ongoing Rail Problems

Stuart McMillan MSP, (SNP) is to seek answers following yet another day of disruption on the Gourock and Wemyss Bay rail lines.

A number of trains were cancelled and delayed today causing major problems for commuters. The Gourock and Wemyss Bay lines have suffered major disruption over recent weeks with trains delayed and cancelled at short notice.

Mr McMillan intends to write to both Scotrail and Network Rail in order to get to the bottom of the problems.

Mr McMillan said;

"I was disappointed to hear of the disruptions today on the Wemyss Bay and Gourock rail lines, it seems to be the latest in a long line of problems on these lines.

"I am concerned that the frequency of disruptions on these lines indicates an inherent problem with the line and service to Wemyss Bay and Gourock. The service at present is not acceptable and is causing major problems for commuters.

"I intend to write to both Network Rail and Scotrail to find out where responsibility lies and see what progress can be made to improve the service on these lines and make it more reliable for passengers."
