jamamafegan Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 That’s great news. Is it wishful thinking to hope this might lead to prices dropping for rail travel? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd like to think there would be some reduction in costs. You used to be able to get a £5 Advance ticket for Edinburgh to / from Inverness but they seem to be non existent despite Scotrail's claims (sadly the amazing £10 First Class Advance ones died a death). Now it seems to be £20 minimum which isn't terrible but walk up prices are still absurd (almost £50 for a walk up single for a journey tomorrow) so hopefully they can be reduced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance that’s a thing anymore.I hate the whole buying in advance thing anyway, usually you have to buy a ticket ages in advance with no option of a refund. It’s shite if your plans change. Just make walk up prices cheaper. Still think the way forward would be a card you can load money onto that gets you onto other modes of public transport i.e the Edinburgh trams and Glasgow subway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely simplification/standardisation of prices is the priority alongside cost. No more of these bullshit split journeys etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Hopefully prices drop across the board, but I'll be seething if they get rid of the very generous Teuchter discount on the Far North and Kyle lines 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
