Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether ScotRail staff routinely record the onboard temperatures of its trains, and, if not, whether it would consider doing so.
Answer
The Scottish Government does not directly intervene with ScotRail staff duties, this is a matter for ScotRail as the employer.
Transport Scotland currently audit ScotRail under the Service Quality Inspection Regime (SQUIRe). The SQUIRe inspectors undertake a sample inspection of trains and check many aspects including train heating during its regular inspections.
