When will they finally sort out the railways in Scotland? It’s a disgrace.

Honestly, why are we still paying through the nose for train tickets that are often delayed or cancelled anyway, especially when travelling north of the border? It’s like Westminster just sees Scotland as a cash cow for their failing network. This whole fragmented, privatised system just doesn’t work for anyone outside of the London commuter belt.

My proposal is simple: bring Scotland’s railways back into public ownership, run by a Scottish national rail company. Imagine it – fares set here, services planned here, and profits reinvested here to actually improve things. We could aim for truly integrated ticketing, making it easier and cheaper to get around the country, not just between the big cities. Think about how much brawer it would be if you didn't have to spend half your wages on a return trip to Inverness.

This wouldn't just be about cheaper fares, though that's a big part of it.
