Scotrail has today gotten rid of peak fares...

https://www.scotrail.co.uk/about-scotra ... otrail-set

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').

Yes it seems to be peak by demand pricing rather than peak by clockface

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.
