ScotRail’s New 10-Pound Ticket Rule | Glasgow News

ScotRail’s new ten-pound minimum fare policy kicks in July 1st, hitting anyone caught riding without a ticket—even for short trips. The move aims to slash £11 million in annual fare evasion and curb anti-social behavior, encouraging honest travel by making it clear you’ll pay the full fare if you skip buying a ticket. Tickets can be bought at offices, machines, or via app—but digital ones must be activated before boarding. Staff can check machine and office status in real-time, so “it wasn’t working” won’t cut it. Exceptions apply for stations with no ticketing options, out-of-order machines, or passengers with disabilities or concession tickets. This isn’t a fine—it’s the fare you’d have paid if you’d bought a ticket. After an April education push, ScotRail hopes this policy will boost ticket purchases, helping fund better service for all.
