Peak fares gone. For good. (www.scotrail.co.uk)
submitted 1 month ago by Olap@lemmy.world to c/scotland@lemmy.world

Having just taken the train yesterday to a bewildering number of options with kids, and travel cards, and split tickets, and off-peak/on-peak. Thank fuck something is getting fixed!

Great for those commuters too. No excuse to take the car now!

Good. Across the rest of europe, peak-specific fares are rare (although some passes exclude morning peak). However the capacity-investment problem remains - it's hard for the railway to make extra track and trains only needed for peak hours. So govt should also encourage employers to propose more flexible hours.
