What did the officials say?

Syeda Ghufran, head of engineering projects at the ScotRail Alliance, said “With Christmas just a few weeks away we wanted to get into the holiday spirit with our Santa-themed trains. If any of our customers spot our elves hidden throughout the train, we hope they will share them on social media so that everybody can join in the fun. We'll be doing all we can to get our customers where they want to be over the holidays. If they're letting us do the driving home for Christmas, we encourage them to plan their journey now on the ScotRail app or at scotrail.co.uk.”
