ScotRail: Train services to be brought into public ownership from 2022

ScotRail will come into public ownership next year SCOTLAND S rail services will be brought into public ownership from next year, Transport Secretary Michael Matheson has said. Matheson announced in 2019 that the current contract with operator Abellio would be cancelled from March 2022. The Transport Secretary said it would not be advisable to seek a successor to Abellio during the Covid-19 pandemic. In a statement this afternoon, Matheson said: “Following a detailed assessment process and given the uncertainty caused by Covid 19, alongside the continuing delays to the UK Government white paper on rail reform, I have decided that it would not be appropriate to award a franchise agreement to any party at this time, either through a competition or a direct award.

ScotRail train services to be nationalised when Abellio contract ends

The ScotRail train franchise will be nationalised from 2022, the Scottish Government has announced. Train services will be run by the Government as an “operator of last resort” when the current contract with Abellio ends next March. The Transport Secretary, Michael Matheson, told the Scottish Parliament he had ruled out extending the existing contract with the Dutch rail operator because “the current franchising system is no longer fit for purpose”. Instead, Mr Matheson said ScotRail services will be provided by an “arm’s length company” that will be owned and controlled by the Scottish Government. “With the current ScotRail franchise expected to end in March 2022, we need to take decisions about successor arrangements within the current legislative framework,” Mr Matheson said.
