HANDS OFF OUR CHEAP RAIL FARES

BRINGING back eye-watering peak rail fares next month will be "an act of short-sighted, irresponsible folly", trade unions have warned.

A pilot scheme launched in October, which scrapped peak fares on ScotRail services, will end on June 28.

Peak-time tickets - roughly double the cost of normal fares - are then set to return, hammering commuters in the wallet.
