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').
