Scotland’s overcrowding problems aren’t as bad as London’s, but the news of tacking on more carriages to existing trains is, frankly, underwhelming. I think people would be happier with more frequent services using these new carriages. We were discussing at breakfast how the less-clever proposal to add more carriages and renovating (and lengthening) platforms rather than adding services could be (given that I don’t know much about train scheduling and safety) due to a politician being lobbied by someone who’s got a bung from some construction company.

This would be a defamation alert, if I actually had any names to name.
