Transport minister Humza Yousaf signalled today he will order performance improvements from the ScotRail Alliance with Network Rail after declaring it 'hasn't been to the standard I'd expect'. Transport minister Humza Yousaf has been accused of losing his grip after he signalled more improvements may be ordered because of falling punctuality. The minister said performance hasnt been to the standard Id expect. However, opposition parties said he should have acted sooner because timekeeping has been on the slide for several months. The deteriorating performance has come despite the ScotRail Alliance with Network Rail operating a performance improvement plan since it was ordered by Mr Yousaf when punctuality fell in autumn 2016.
