The Scottish Government announced that all peak rail fares will be scrapped for a six-month trial, beginning in October.
All peak fares on Scotrail trains will be scrapped for six-months from October, as part of a new trial to encourage people to ditch their cars and travel by train.
ScotRail said the trial will see huge savings across the country, with fares on the main route between Edinburgh and Glasgow coming down from £28.90 to £14.90. The fare from Perth to Dundee will drop from £14.40 to £9.90 and the ticket price from Glasgow to Stirling will fall from £16.10 to £9.60. “This peak fare removal pilot is aimed at achieving this by making ticketing simpler with off-peak fares valid all day. This is an exciting and unique opportunity to encourage more people to choose a safe, reliable, and greener form of public transport.”
