ScotRail says it is meeting the higher standards set out in a second ‘remedial plan’ which was issued by the Scottish Government on 8 February. The plan was served on ScotRail after performance had fallen below the targets in the franchise contract. It was the second Remedial Plan issued to the operator within a few months, after performance had fallen to 79 per cent. The May timetable changes were a crucial test, but recent performance has been the best since September 2018. ScotRail promised improvements under 19 headings, and says it has met the requirements of 11 so far.
