What-Cheaper to Fly to London than a Train from Edinburgh to Glasgow!
Well it’s Mother’s day this month, but many pocket books, wallets and purses are feeling the strain. Did you know for example that the train fares from Edinburgh to Glasgow are now so high that journeys can be more expensive than a plane flight to London and back! You can pop to Stansted from Edinburgh for less than thirty quid, but the train fare is a couple of pounds more. Or you could fly to Dublin or Belfast for less than the one way peak time ScotRail fare between Glasgow and the capital after Peak Fares returned to Scotland last year. Commuters had saved thousands of pounds during a trial which lasted a year and it was meant to shift a load of workers to rail rather than commuting by car, but they couldn’t do it and so commuters will be wildly out of pocket this year. The price cutting trial had seen about four million extra train journeys in the past nine months, but the £40million cost in these straightened times was too much for Holyrood.
