The move will result in big savings for passengers on key routes including Edinburgh-Glasgow
During the trial, the price of a peak-time return between Perth and Dundee will fall from £14.40 to £9.90. Between Glasgow and Stirling the price will fall from £16.10 to £9.60.
From Monday, customers will be able to check the ScotRail website or app to see the new fares for their route that will be introduced throughout the trial period., with more home working prompting a fall in demand for peak-time trains. Alex Hynes, managing director of Scotland’s Railway, said the project was a “hugely exciting opportunity” to get people back onto trains.
“We know that cost and simplicity is a critical factor for people when they choose how to travel, and we are looking forward to delivering this fantastic fare reduction for our customers.”
