ScotRail fares up 3.8 per cent from April

SNP Transport Secretary Fiona Hyslop has announced train fares across Scotland will rise by an inflation-busting 3.8 per cent next year.

The rise will come into force on April 1, while the extension of ScotRail’s flexipass ticket to cover 12 single journeys rather than 10 will continue.

Ms Hyslop, announcing the hike in response to parliamentary question today, said: “We want more people to choose to travel by public transport for work, study and leisure.

“That means keeping ticket offices open, investing in services, and freezing fares — not pricing passengers off the railway.

“If ministers are serious about encouraging people to switch from cars to public transport, they must make rail travel a more attractive option.”
