'Rail for All: delivering a modern, zero-carbon rail network in Scotland’
In 2020 John Finnie MSP, the Scottish Green Party’s spokesperson on transport, commissioned an expert report from Deltix Transport Consulting on the opportunities for rail in Scotland. The full report is available at the link below, together with a mini-report on Rail Decarbonisation, published as a supplement to Rail for All. In addition, based on the Deltix report (written by David Spaven and David Prescott), a Policy Briefing was launched by the Green Group of MSPs in January 2021, and can be viewed at the link below.
