About ScotRail

ScotRail Trains Limited is owned by the Scottish Government and supervised by Scottish Rail Holdings Limited (SRH Ltd). The public company now operates rail services in Scotland and will continue to be known as 'ScotRail'. Trains and stations will continue to be branded 'ScotRail'. The only change is the removal of the name of the current franchise operator, 'Abellio', from signs, websites, printed materials, etc. All passengers can rest assured that trains will continue to operate, tickets and season tickets will remain valid and can be purchased as usual. Founded in 1997 by National Express under the ScotRail brand name, it was transferred to First Group in 2004 and renamed First ScotRail. In 2008 it returned to its original name, Scottish Railways. The railway company provides services from the north of England to areas such as Newcastle and Carlisle, and on to London. Most rail services run between major Scottish cities such as Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness, Aberdeen and Dundee. ScotRai operates trains along the famous Highland Main Line in Scotland's beautiful Highlands. ScotRail offers a wide range of tickets, such as Advance tickets, Group tickets known as Friend's Fare, Anytime tickets which offer full flexibility in terms of time, Family tickets and Off-peak tickets for family travel needs.

    • How to Get Cheap ScotRail tickets

    Looking for the cheapest train tickets for your journey? We've got you covered!Check out the suggestions below and discover tips you can use to save on your next train journey.
    Book in advance
    Book in advance
    Most of the railway companies throughout Europe release their tickets approximately three to six months in advance, with many offering lower prices for early bookings. If you know the dates you wish to travel, it may be possible to secure cheaper train tickets from Milan to Rome by booking in advance.
    Split Tickets
    Choose a slower or connecting train
    On certain busier routes, it may be possible to opt for a slower or connecting train. Although it may take slightly longer than high-speed or direct services, you could potentially secure a cheaper fare if you have some extra time to spare. Additionally, you'll have more opportunity to appreciate the scenic views of the countryside!
    Travel Off-Peak
    Be open to flexibility in your travel schedule
    A significant number of train services in Europe are also utilized as commuter services, and as such, many train companies raise ticket prices during "peak hours" (typically from 06:00 to 10:00 and from 15:00 to 19:00 on weekdays). If possible, try to travel outside of peak hours to secure lower-priced tickets.
    Travel Off-Peak
    Use your Railcard
    National Railcards offer a 1/3 off eligible train tickets in the UK and can be a great investment if you travel a few times or more in a year.
