Petition Action

Free train fee for anyone with a young Scot card or senior card.

Petition Details

I want the government to make travel by train free in Scotland for people under 21 with a young Scot card and people over the age of 60 with a senior card just like it works with buses.

Additional Information

It's absolutely outrageous having to pay £5 for a child ticket to get to glasgow from a few stops away. It should be free if it's not a train going to the other side of the country or out of it.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Concessionary travel schemes in Scotland are a matter for the Scottish Government and Scottish Parliament, not the UK Government or Parliament.
