Rail Fares Down by 20% Won by Scottish Labour


This week many rail fares from Dundee and Broughty Ferry will be reduced by as much as 20%. This is the result of the Tay Train Tax campaign which was led by Jenny Marra, Labour's North East MSP based in Dundee.

For example, an Anytime Return from Broughty Ferry to Glasgow is reduced from £50:40 to £40:40.

These lower fares should put an end to passengers having to buy a confusing series of split tickets to secure the cheapest fare to Edinburgh, Glasgow or Aberdeen.

I am sure that regular and occasional rail travellers will appreciate the end of these unjustifiably high fares to and from Dundee and Broughty Ferry stations. These lower fares should also help make the rail fares more attractive.
