This rip-off fare increase, is unwanted, unwelcome and unnecessary.
“It will hit thousands of working people in the local area and across Scotland who use our railways to get to work.
“Scotland’s rail franchise system is broke.
“We need to bring ScotRail back into public hands to bring an end to these rip off fares and to deliver a railway system that puts passengers first not private train companies.”
