| Comment | They are, gradually - it's basically in order of priority by traffic volume. I believe Kilmarnock is next in the running after the East Kilbride/Barrhead work is done this year
By 2035 the aim is to have only the very extremes of the network left running diesel, with a decision made for the right route to decarbonise this (with hydrogen as an option)
The reason more hasn't been done is that on a pure cost basis it simply isn't worth it on Scottish passenger volumes, so it's really only post-Paris Agreement that getting rid of diesel trains has been seen as valid policy. |
