There is CCTV and of course the driver is still there.

As well as the conductor, where there is one present at the moment.

A spokeswoman for ScotRail said: "This ballot result confirms that there is very little appetite for strike action in ScotRail. Nearly half of our total number of conductors voted against strike action or abstained.
"This is now a clear signal for the RMT that our people in Scotland want to decide their own way forward. We have already guaranteed job security, pay and the futures of our conductors.
