More travel chaos as fresh start becomes false start

On the first day that many people were due back to work after the holidays, there has been chaos after parts of the M8 were closed for almost four hours due to black ice, causing major rush hour traffic delays.

Jackson Carlaw MSP, Shadow Minister for Transport, said:

"What should have been a fresh start has proved to be a false start with many motorists stranded on the M8 all over again.

"Keith Brown's encouraging words have not been matched by effective action. This black ice was predicted and this time should have been dealt with."
