September 14th - Abolishing peak-time rail tickets
Published 2 years, 8 months ago
Description
Scotland is to abolish peak-time rail fares for a six-month trial.
The only “walk-up” fare for immediate purchase and travel will be the cheaper off-peak ticket.
Savings for rush-hour commuters will range from 20 to 48 per cent, with passengers between Edinburgh and Glasgow seeing the price almost halve, falling by £14 to £14.90.
Could it happen in the rest of the UK?
