The Scottish Greens have highlighted unacceptable levels of stop skipping and overcrowding on trains as they renewed their call for a public-sector bid for the ScotRail franchise. Almost 6,000 trains skipped station stops last year while almost 470,000 seats on services were planned but not provided, according to figures provided by the Scottish Government. Greens transport spokesman John Finnie said the performance failures demonstrated the need for Scotlands railways to be taken into public hands as soon as possible.
