US EditionPeak ScotRail fares to be scrapped for six months in pilot scheme
- Starting from next month, commuters traveling between Glasgow and Edinburgh will see a significant drop in ticket prices, with fares being reduced by almost half as part of a six-month trial.
- The pilot scheme, funded by the Scottish government, aims to make rail travel more affordable and convenient by removing peak-time fares and allowing off-peak fares to be valid all day, encouraging people to choose rail over cars.
- While some of the cheapest tickets may no longer be available, the overall goal is to increase rail usage, support the government's environmental targets, and examine the long-term sustainability of the fare reduction.
