KILMARNOCK'S new MSP has welcomed improved rail links and pledged ongoing support for better public transport.

Alan Brown, MSP for Kilmarnock and Irvine Valley, praised ScotRail’s additional Sunday evening return service between Glasgow and Kilmarnock.

The politician also welcomed the SNP Scottish Government’s decision to permanently scrap peak rail fares and noted rail fares are frozen until 2027.

He said: "Any enhancement to services which improves connectivity and provides greater flexibility for passengers across Kilmarnock and the surrounding area is a positive step forward.

"I know reliable and accessible transport remains a major issue for many constituents and it’s important we continue pushing for further improvements across the network."
