British Rail hasn't existed for 16 years.

ScotRail doesn't seem to have revealed who recorded the cover version of 'Young Hearts Run Free' especially for the ad:

I don't think it's Candi Staton. I know she made the record, but I don't think it's her in the advert. The person singing is so out of tune and sounds nothing like the original.
Not a very good cover either imo.
Here are some covers

Maybe it is an updated or live version by Candi- she is in her seventies now so her voice will have changed in quality. It'd be a shame to have ruined a great track though
> British Rail hasn't existed for 16 years.

True, but old habits die hard. How often do people still talk about Inland Revenue, The Water Board, The Gas Board, etc. Last week I found myself congratulating one of my students from last year on passing her 'O' level Maths
It will be an uncredited session vocalist.

I have to say that although the vocal is somewhat OTT, it is in tune - and it is defintely NOT Candi Staton.
