ScotRail is set to repay £500,000 to season ticket holders who were unable to travel in Scotland’s big freeze.

Severe snowfalls and sub-zero conditions brought parts of the country’s rail and road system to a standstill over the past month.

ScotRail said the refunds would cover the four weeks ending 11 December and went beyond its obligations.

Meanwhile, Transport Scotland said urgent repairs and pothole filling were taking place on the trunk road network.
