"But since the pandemic, kids have been gathering in places like stations and trains to shelter from the weather and access free wifi because their clubs have all been shut down and they have nowhere else to go."There is a path of destruction and misery that is happening in communities and more needs to be done about it now, or another child will die, just like Justin did.
The driver said he doesn't blame kids for the rise in violence however, and believes it is a result of services and clubs being"taken away" which has left them with nowhere else to go. Kevin Lindsay, ASLEF Scottish organiser told the Daily Record:"Anti-social behaviour is a very real and serious problem and we won’t solve it by cutting investment, closing ticket offices and having driver-only trains."
David Lister, ScotRail safety, engineering and sustainability director, added:"The safety of our customers and our colleagues is our number one priority and we will always look at ways in which we can improve. "We will continue to work with the Scottish Government, British Transport Police, the rail unions, our staff, and other groups to ensure we can deliver a railway that best meets the needs of all."
