Scotrail recruitment problems

[notadriver]

I've been told that Scotrail have trouble recruiting drivers for the West highland and Far North lines due to the long driving stints involved. Does anyone know if this is true ?

Rubbish. There are no vacancies at WHL depots and no shortage of applications for Inverness or further north.

Almost every time I have used the Far North Line recently there has been more than one person in the cab, so I assume some drivers are being trained up or learning the route at the moment.
