Who runs ScotRail?
ScotRail is Scotland's national railway operator. While it uses the ScotRail brand, the services are currently run by Scottish Rail Holdings, a company owned by the Scottish Government. This means the government has direct responsibility for the performance and services, including the digital tools like their new booking app.
