Stuart McMillan MSP has welcomed the news that from Sunday 10 December, ScotRail will introduce seven additional services – creating a new half-hourly service between Gourock and Glasgow Central on Sundays.
The additional services will depart Gourock between 12:23 and 19:23, and from Glasgow Central between 11:20 and 18:20.
Commenting, Stuart said:
“As the festive season gets into full swing, rail passengers across Inverclyde will be delighted that an extra half-hourly service on the Gourock to Glasgow Central line is now being introduced on a Sunday. This will make using public transport to meet up with friends or go shopping all the easier.
“I know that the temporary removal of certain train services over the past six months has been frustrating for passengers, but as I’ve previously said, I believe that these additional services were worth that short-term change to enable ScotRail to train more drivers. It also allowed for them to consult the public about what services they want to see provided.
“I am confident that these additional services, in delivering an improved rail service, will result in more people taking the train in Inverclyde.
“This is good news for our environment – and thanks to the Scottish Government’s Peak Fare Removal Pilot and the various railcards on offer, could also be better for our bank balances too.”
