Rail for All

A rail tunnel under the Firth of Forth is among the initiatives proposed by the Scottish Green Party, in its call for a £22 billion investment in the country’s railways. The party wants all communities of more than 5,000 people to be connected to the national network and for decision-making processes to be rebalanced in favour of rail. The report argues that there should be one publicly owned operator and that a taskforce should plan and steer expansion, improvement and the delivery of a modern zero-carbon rail network.
