Transform Scotland welcome for Transport Scotland order for new electric trains

Paul Tetlaw, Chair of sustainable transport campaign group Transform Scotland, said:

"The order for new electric trains is welcome on two counts.Firstly, we need to increase the capacity of our railway system to allow more people to travel comfortably by train. Equally important is that these will be electric trains and so we are investing in transport technology that is not dependent on oil - critical not only for our future energy security but also to reduce our climate change emissions."
