 In #Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 peak fares are being removed across the board on #ScotRail to try and incentivise rail travel over car use.

If passenger numbers go up it’s entirely possible the temporary peak fares removal will become a permanent one.

You can only do that if your country owns your train operating company. 

No privatised company would consent to losing the profit they derive from gouging daily commuters. 
 It’s soooo much nicer living in a country whose Government puts the people living there ahead of the greed of profiteers and spivs. 

#Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 really is a completely different country to England… in every single respect.
