ScotRail is trialling a new plan to make Kilwinning's railway station more accessible - but MSP Katy Clark says the measures are inadequate.

The rail operator has put a four-week plan in place that will see the station's lifts left open for use in the evenings.

This will mean the lifts will be available for use even if staff are not in attendance.

However Ms Cark, who represents the West Scotland region for Labour, says that safe staffing levels must be reintroduced on a permanent basis to solve the stations accessibility issue.
