| Comment | Nah it's unrelated.
ScotRail ownership is related only to the trains that run on Scottish rail lines. The rail lines themselves are run by Network Rail.
The overall metro proposals pull together individual project ideas that have been floating around for a while. Tram lines, reinstating old rail alignments, changing rolling stock on some suburban lines to lighter rail metro trains.
I think in some ways having the national rail operator nationalised allows for greater synergy in planning, especially where the proposals cross over with suburban rail services in Glasgow. But it isn't fundamental to any of these plans going ahead. |
