Scotrail has today gotten rid of peak fares...

Whilst it does genuinely seem that if you would have been charged an anytime single or return fare with no other concessions applied then this is indeed now charged at the off peak rate all the time, delivering a (sometimes substantial) saving - the headline being Edinburgh-Glasgow which has seen a £30 ticket become a £15 ticket. But when it comes to railcards, season tickets, and flexible tickets, the distinction isn't so clear cut and it appears you still will pay more to travel in peak time (although I'm sure this will be dressed up as 'discounted less' rather than 'pay more').

"He has to be larger than bacon"
Stagecoach could have been more informative about their route changes in Hull last weekend. Service 350 says "In Hull Interchange the service will depart Bay 34 instead of Bay 10." No other routes say anything about bay changes, even though there definitely are other changes as service 13 is the one that was using Bay 34 until Saturday.

Can’t believe there’s been no mention of the Great British Rail livery here 😱
I quite like it, although it’s a little… I don’t know, lacking in creativity? I think if you asked AI to design a Great British Rail train, we’d get what we’ve ended up with.
Saw some branding on the ticket barriers at the station yesterday and thought GB News had bought the space to advertise.
Haven’t seen if they’ll dare to repaint Scotrail trains in the GBR design?
