Scottish Greens demand removal of first-class seats on ScotRail for higher capacity, affordability.

The Scottish Greens are calling for the removal of first-class seats on ScotRail trains, citing low usage rates of only 2% in the last year. They argue this would increase capacity and make travel more affordable. While other UK rail companies are phasing out first-class tickets, ScotRail opposes the move, stating that first-class fares generate £8 million annually, which is reinvested into the service.
