ScotRail begins £10 fee for fare evaders

Starting July 1, ScotRail will implement a minimum fare of £10 for passengers caught traveling without a valid ticket, aiming to reduce fare evasion and anti-social behavior. Passengers are encouraged to purchase tickets beforehand through various methods, including station kiosks, online, or via the app, to avoid the minimum charge. The policy applies unless stations lack ticketing facilities or in specific concession or disability cases; if ticket machines are broken or offices are closed, tickets can be purchased on the train. The initiative seeks to recover over £11 million annually lost to fare evasion and promote lawful ticket purchasing.
