The use of "Scotland's national" in the first sentence does not seem quite right. Please see Strategic Rail Authority. The fact that ScotRail is in the brand name does not make the fanchise Scotland's national fanchise. And there are other service operators using lines in Scotland. Laurel Bush.
- I don't have a problem with it. It seems fine to me. The other operators' services are mostly south of the border. ScotRail operate the only intra-Scotland services, and have only two minor cross border services. It would seem to me that they are the national operator within Scotland. --Colin Angus Mackay
[edit] Split article?
It might be an idea to split the NEG ScotRail part of the article away from the First ScotRail bulk. They are separate companies so they should have their own pages. Our Phellap 12:34, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
- I don't agree. Ultimately, it's the same franchise, with the same trains, network, timetable and staff. All that's changed is the managers and the colour of the trains and the uniforms. Maccoinnich 13:13, September 6, 2005 (UTC)
The article seems to be primarily about a franchise issued by the Strategic Rail Authority, not about any particular company with a lease of the fanchise. Also the article seems to include clear references to articles about relevant companies. Laurel Bush.
[edit] Picture of Class 334
The caption indicates that the train is approaching Cardonald Station. Looking at the trackwork, it not Cardonald Junction. Can anyone please identify?
