One Union group thinks it should happen. A petition has already gathered 20,000 signatures:
The RMT union has called on the Scottish Government to set out an immediate timetable for Abellio to be stripped of its ScotRail franchise.

The transport workers' union claims performance by the operator has slumped and not enough money is being invested in staffing, services and safety.

The demand comes on the eve of a day of protests organised by the union in support of a campaign for "Safer Scottish Railways".

ScotRail said the comments do not stand up to scrutiny and added that it is investing hundreds of millions of pounds on new trains and systems.
