Does he fire any gay person from the Scotrail operations he manages?


He doesn't manage Scotrail. He owns it. We call that "capitalism".

He doesn't own ScotRail, he is joint owner of Stagecoach Group. The
brand "ScotRail" (not to be confused with "ScotRailprefixed or
suffixed Ltd.") belongs to the Scottish Government.


I know. I was simplifying things to a level which I thought Lüko would
be able to understand. Mind you, I think I was wrong, anyway, 'cos
Scotrail is run by First, isn't it, who are Stagecoach's biggest rivals.
I was thinking of Virgin.
