Increase Train Services to Largs to Twice an Hour


Increase Train Services to Largs to Twice an Hour
The Issue
I, like many others in Largs, often find myself waiting an hour for a train. This extends people's commute by many hours - a significant portion of people's day that could be spent more productively. We believe that increasing the frequency of trains to Largs from once an hour to twice an hour would not only ease our daily commutes but also stimulate economic growth in our town.
Largs is home to over 11,000 residents and serves as a vibrant hub for tourists visiting the West Coast of Scotland. Despite this, our public transport services are inadequate for both residents and visitors alike. With only one train per hour serving the town, it's clear that we are underserved compared with other towns of similar size across the UK.
Increasing the frequency of trains would not only benefit commuters but also boost local businesses by making it easier for tourists and locals alike to visit our beautiful seaside town. Furthermore, improved public transport links can help reduce car usage and contribute towards environmental sustainability goals.
We urge ScotRail and Transport Scotland to consider this proposal seriously – improving train services will significantly enhance quality of life in Largs while supporting local economic development and environmental sustainability efforts.
Please sign this petition if you agree that it's time for better train services in Largs!
