Press Release – 13th May 2025

A new report has revealed that ScotRail has boosted the Scottish economy by £4 billion in 2024.

The report, which is quite technical, can be viewed at https://www.scotrail.co.uk/…/independant-economic…

See the link below for a special ScotRail advertising feature in the Daily Record. Focus is on the Borders Railway, and in particular Stow Station.

The article quotes Joanne Maguire, Managing Director of ScotRail:

“Our stations throughout the country play such an important role for local people, providing much more than just a place they can get on and off a train. Stow is a perfect example of the positive impact the railway has on the economy and the opportunities for engagement with local communities.

The success of the Borders Railway and its ripple effect on communities in Scotland is another example of how your ticket goes further than you think.”
