A trade union boss has today written to Nicola Sturgeon demanding commitments to low fares and retaining station staff when Scotland's rail service returns to public ownership.

TSSA Leader, Manuel Cortes, says in a letter to the First Minister that it is utterly wrong-headed to think that cutting staff means more efficiency.

He says that numbers are already stretched and further cuts will mean that short-notice cancellations become the norm.

We need station and platform staff to help passengers with disabilities, parents with pushchairs, and elderly passengers on and off the train. More staff means a better railway for everyone, he says.
