COLIN MARR: Could ScotRail scheme have been used to take cars …
I had an interesting conversation with ScotRail last week about their trial to temporarily remove peak fares.
The trial was announced by Humza Yousaf in April and will run for six months from October. It will cost the Scottish Government an estimated £15 million.
Some of our local train services will benefit. If you travel between Inverness and Nairn before 9am you’ll save £3 on a return ticket. For Elgin to Inverness that increases to £7.60. For Inverness to Wick the saving will be just under £5. If you’re a regular commuter, then your savings will mount up.
