Travel by train incentive as ScotRail announces half price seat sale

ScotRail has announced that next month it will slash 50 per cent off all off-peak services between any two stations in Scotland, Monday to Friday, to encourage people across the country to return to Scotland’s Railway.

The offer, which had been due to take place in January but was postponed due to the rise in Omicron cases, is the latest ‘Yours to Use’ initiative from the train operator to welcome customers back as it looks to recover from the impact of the pandemic.

Customers can book their discounted tickets between May 9 – 15 inclusive, with outward travel valid between May 9 – 31 inclusive. All return travel must be complete by June 30.

The 50 per cent off tickets will only be available to purchase online via a dedicated booking link to be published on the ScotRail website.

The offer will be available on all off-peak tickets on valid routes. ScotRail’s Kids for a Quid will be able to be used in conjunction with this offer, which means up to four children can travel, for £1 return each, with each adult.

There are massive savings to be had on train trips across the country, whether customers are looking for a day out or a short break.

Valid for return travel within a month, an Off-Peak Return between Edinburgh and Glasgow will cost just £9.55, while customers can travel between Inverness and Aberdeen for £23.85 return – ideal for those looking for a spring getaway.
