Scottish Government ministers are benefiting from a “two-tier transport system”, Labour has claimed, as new figures showed more than 400 trips made in ministerial cars since ScotRail cut services.

The rail operator slashed hundreds of services when it introduced a temporary timetable – a move brought in to try to prevent short-notice cancellations.

Figures obtained by Labour showed that since the reduced timetable was introduced on May 23 until June 18, a total of 439 journeys were made in ministerial vehicles.

That is more than double the total of 214 recorded over the same 27-day period in 2021, Labour said.

According to the date on the first day of the temporary timetable, nine journeys were made in ministerial vehicles.
