Article summary

First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, has given a speech emphasising the importance of rail decarbonisation at the formal launch of the modernised £120m Glasgow Queen Street Station. During her speech, Sturgeon highlighted Scotland’s progress towards the full decarbonisation of its railway passenger services and praised the station as an example of how historic and iconic stations can be modernised to offer ‘greener transport hubs that are more attractive to commuter, business and leisure markets alike’. Sturgeon also confirmed that the £63m Barrhead line electrification will now move to the construction phase, reaching another milestone towards decarbonisation.
