Scotland’s Railways managing director Alex Hynes said: “Everyone is working flat out to deliver the service that our customers expect and deserve. I am delighted to see such a high level of customer satisfaction, which shows that the hard work of our people is paying off.

“During the ongoing pandemic we have asked a lot of our customers and I’d like to thank them for their part in keeping Scotland’s Railway safe, by following our five rules for safer travel.

“The improvements in the satisfaction in our customer service is very encouraging, and I look forward to working with our customers in the coming weeks and months to keep them and our staff safe.”
