A sustainable railway for Scotland

Our vision is to deliver a safe, sustainable, inclusive, and accessible railway for Scotland.

We are committed to providing best value to the Scottish public. Continuing to take climate action and working towards net zero, while maximising the social and economic benefits, are a vital part of the value that the rail network provides Scotland. We are proud to create thousands of jobs and provide training opportunities for both young people and those looking to upskill.

Everybody benefits from a climate resilient railway. That is why we are continually working hard to decarbonise the railway and achieve net zero. To do this we enable access to our services for everyone and act as a catalyst for active travel and the use of mixed modes of sustainable transport.

We want the Scottish public to view rail travel as the first travel option and benefit from what is already the most sustainable mode of public transport, contributing only 1% of Scotland’s overall transport carbon emissions.

We invite you to browse our Sustainability Hub to learn more about what we’re doing to create an environmentally and socially sustainable railway for Scotland.

In each of the sections, we offer ways that you can get involved to play your part.
