That’s the view of Liberal Democrat councillors James Calder and Aude Boubaker-Calder who have called on Scotrail to take action to improve services in Fife.

They said over the past week, many peak-time trains on the Fife Circle have been reduced to just two carriages which has led to some passengers being unable to get on board.

“Almost two years ago when the Scottish Government committed to the nationalising ScotRail, they said the future service would be ‘customer-focused’,” they said.
