Rail fare freeze vow as peak prices rise

PASSENGERS will see off-peak fares on the ScotRail network frozen for two years from 2014 with other price rises to be capped at the rate of inflation.

The pricing deal emerged after the announcement that commuters will be hit by a 3.9% rise in peak fares from the new year. ScotRail declined to reveal the exact cost of the lower fare increases but said it would be offset as more passengers were persuaded to switch from road to rail.
