ScotRail Peak Fares Removal Pilot - Interim Evaluation Report 1

This paper provides an interim evaluation of the impact of the removal of peak fares from the ScotRail network. It covers the period from the introduction of the pilot in October 2023 to December 2023. As such it is very much a preliminary analysis and is subject to significant uncertainty over the long-term impacts. After the end of the pilot on 28 June 2024, a final evaluation will be undertaken using the full nine months of data and the Scottish Government will then carefully consider the impact and long term sustainability of any further measures.
