SNP and Green government ministers should ditch their £1m a year chauffer-driven cars until the Scotrail dispute is settled, the Scottish Labour leader has said. ginadavidsonlbc

“While this Deputy First Minister and his colleagues have 28 chauffeur-driven cars, costing over £1 million to get them to and from their work, this SNP/Green Government is cutting a thousand rail services a day, offering no replacement bus services and forcing people to work hours just to pay for a taxi home.

Mr Swinney failed to give a direct answer, speaking instead about train driver numbers and negotiations. Mr Swinney said he sympathised entirely, and said it illustrated the importance of talks between ScotRail and the Aslef union, which has rejected a 2.2 per cent pay rise.
