Scotrail responded to my FOI asking about the new app launch. There's quite a few documents here, so should make for some interesting reading. Hopefully I can find something interesting that explains _why_ it was so messy, and see if there are any obvious lessons that could be learned for the future.

🏴 #ScotRail has won the Net Zero Excellence Award at the Spotlight Rail Awards #Scotland 2026, recognising its work to make the railway more sustainable. Presented in #Glasgow on 3 September, the award highlighted efforts to cut emissions, improve energy efficiency, strengthen climate resilience and support biodiversity.
ScotRail is using digital twins to monitor energy use and emissions, while working with Network Rail on further electrification and plans for new electric trains as it prepares to replace around two-thirds of its fleet over the next 15 years.
The operator is also developing stations as sustainable travel hubs and supporting biodiversity projects. More than 1,500 volunteer hours have been dedicated to biodiversity work since April 2025, with around 850 square metres of wildflower meadow maintained across the network.
Sophie Hughes and Evie Gardiner were also highly commended in the Young Rail Professional category.

#ScotRail is reminding customers of timetable improvements from Sunday, 14 December, aimed at enhancing services in #Glasgow and across #Scotland. New four-carriage electric class 380 #trains will replace most diesel trains between Glasgow Central and East Kilbride, marking a key step in rail decarbonisation. Peak-time services on the Glasgow Central–Newton, Neilston, and Cathcart Circle routes will gain additional carriages, while evening services between #Edinburgh Waverley and #Dunblane will run twice hourly. Adjusted services will also improve travel to North #Berwick, #Dunbar, #Tweedbank, and #Fife. ScotRail urges passengers to check journey times as some may have changed.
