🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿📈🚉 #ScotRail has recorded its busiest week since returning to public ownership, with more than 2.1 million passenger journeys made between 26 July and 1 August. The rise reflects growing demand for rail travel to events, as well as business, shopping and leisure trips. The record week follows June figures showing more than seven million journeys, up six per cent on the same month in 2025. Additional services have supported major events including the #Commonwealth Games Glasgow 2026, TRNSMT, concerts at Hampden and Murrayfield, and Glasgow’s Summer Sessions. Extra trains are also planned for the #Edinburgh Festivals. ScotRail said the figures showed the efforts of its teams and would support its aim of delivering a reliable, safe and greener #railway for #Scotland. https://www.scotrail.co.uk/about-scotrail/news/scotrail-sets-record-21-million-passenger-journeys-in-single-week

ScotRail today demonstrated to the nation the importance of having a good release process. They pushed out a change to an app, not in a phased update, but a full new app. They immediately deprecated the old one. When I tried it this morning so many things were broken, from login attempts crashing the app to adding basic ticketing options like discount cards being broken. Not to mention most the of the tech support and updates is still coming from their X account. I really hope they eventually publish a post-mortem for this because I would love to see how they got this so wrong. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cddjzgv3zl1o #scotland #scotrail

Got my password for the new #Scotrail app. Seems to sort of work. The search is a bit odd. The new app is made by SilverRail apparently. A work in progress. #Scotland

Replying to @lionelb@expressional.social
@lionelb@expressional.social Looking through the firebase tracking logs that the #Scotrail app is spitting out (along with unredacted firebase tokens, but let's not go there) I suspect you probably don't want that either!

New #Scotrail app coming end of July. The existing app will be junk. New app will require a new setup and won't save payment details but will operate with Apple pay and Google pay. Think I'll stay with Train Pal. At least they refund tickets. https://www.scotrail.co.uk/important-information-about-buying-tickets #Scotland #apps #rail

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #ScotRail has thanked its customers as passenger numbers at #Glasgow Central station returned to near-normal levels following the full restoration of its timetable. On March 25th, around 120,000 journeys were recorded, demonstrating a swift recovery despite ongoing work on Gordon Street and Union Street entrances due to a fire. Passenger numbers had steadily increased, rising from an average of 55,000 during low-level services (March 11-17) to 94,000 after a partial reopening of high-level platforms (March 18-24). ScotRail's Chief Operating Officer, David Ross, expressed pleasure at the strong return of customers, highlighting rail's vital role in supporting the local economy and thanking passengers for their patience. The company is now focused on maintaining reliable service. https://www.scotrail.co.uk/about-scotrail/news/scotrail-thanks-customers-120000-return-glasgow-central

🚄🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #ScotRail has begun seeking finance for a new suburban fleet of at least 69 trains, with options for up to 37 more, ahead of their planned introduction in the early 2030s. The operator will enter a rolling stock lease once the #trains are in service. A separate process to appoint a manufacturer was launched last November. The trains are expected to serve routes including East #Kilbride, Fife, the Borders and Glasgow’s inner suburban lines. Planned features include air-conditioning, improved reliability, step-free access, and more space for bicycles and wheelchairs. The #Scottish Government has approved the procurement, which is being aligned with electrification works by Network Rail. Chief Operating Officer David Ross said the investment would make rail travel more reliable, comfortable and attractive than car use. https://www.scotrail.co.uk/about-scotrail/news/scotrail-launches-finance-procurement-phase-new-trains-0

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #ScotRail is to introduce a £10 minimum fare for passengers who deliberately board without buying a ticket, in a move to curb fare evasion estimated to cost Scotland’s #Railway more than £11 million a year. The charge, which will often exceed the standard fare for short trips, will apply after an education period from April to July 2026. There is no extra fee where the ticket price is above £10, but passengers must still buy before travel to access discounts. Exemptions include closed or absent ticket offices and machines, national entitlement card holders, #disabled customers unable to use ticket machines, and those paying cash who obtain a promise to pay. Since returning to public ownership in 2022, ScotRail says ticketless #travel has fallen from 8.8 to 3.7 per cent, with revenue protection generating around £2 million annually. https://www.scotrail.co.uk/about-scotrail/news/scotrail-tackle-ticketless-travel-new-minimum-fare

#ScotRail fares will be frozen for the next 12 months as part of efforts to ease the cost of living, First Minister John Swinney has announced. The freeze applies to all tickets, including season tickets and Flexipass. It follows the permanent removal of peak fares across ScotRail services, which reduced some prices by up to 48%. Speaking at #Edinburgh Waverley, Mr Swinney said the move aims to keep more money in people’s pockets as households continue to face rising food and energy bills. #Transport Secretary Fiona Hyslop said the freeze would help maintain rail’s affordability and appeal. She said #Scotland became the only part of the #UK to scrap peak fares last year, describing it as the biggest rail fares reform in decades. https://www.gov.scot/news/scotrail-fares-frozen-for-12-months/

The #Scottish #Government has accepted in full 11 recommendations aimed at strengthening safety and tackling antisocial behaviour on the rail network. A report by the Rail Enforcement Powers Working Group, involving operators, trade unions and police, examined how existing powers are used and where they could be improved. It considered fixed penalty notices, repeat offending, protection for rail staff, youth justice and railway byelaws. Measures already under way include replacing ScotRail’s blanket #alcohol ban with time-limited restrictions and progressing legislation to increase antisocial behaviour fines and widen the use of fixed penalty notices. Work will also look at consistent enforcement and closer partnership between #ScotRail, councils and police. Longer-term options, including enhanced protections for rail workers and possible legislative changes, will now be assessed by officials. https://www.transport.gov.scot/news/new-report-sets-out-actions-to-strengthen-safety-and-tackle-antisocial-behaviour-on-scotland-s-railway/
