Answered by Nicol Stephen on 8 Mar 2005 · 60 days after it was lodged, 32 days after it was due

There are currently 340 operational passenger railway stations in Scotland.
The Scottish Executive does not at present hold comprehensive information on all proposals for new stations as these are often developed and promoted, in the first instance, by the relevant local authority or regional transport partnership. The following stations are, however, being considered for re-opening as part of major projects.
