Trust me on trains, says Sturgeon as Holyrood takes over Scotrail
"I'm not seeking to diminish the very real, serious problems with the delays and cost over-runs on the ferries but I do think that it is an over-simplicity trying to read across," she said.
She said changes would not come "overnight" but that more direct ownership by ministers will make addressing issues easier - including decarbonising the railways to meet net zero targets, which also meant making rail travel more attractive in its convenience and cost. Pressed on whether she would always keep rail fares lower than the price of taking journeys by car, Ms Sturgeon said she had no power over the cost of petrol, and that a review of fares will be undertaken in the coming months with the results to be outlined before the end of the year.
