A new law banning people who behave unacceptably on the railway could be introduced in Scotland. A court can already order anti-social offenders not to travel by train or enter stations, but a new report says a ‘Railway Banning Order’ could be created by passing a new law, while the range of offences which could be dealt with out of court ‘quickly and proportionately’ could also be increased. The report has been produced by the Rail Enforcement Powers Working Group, which reflects the views of rail operators, trade unions and the police.
