Scottish fares comparison

January 2008 vs January 2009

N O T E S

State at January 2008 and Jan 2009.

Some changes (e.g. the CrossCountry Saver/Off-peak restrictions) may have occurred during the course of the year.

A Restrictions will apply from January.

2008: no restriction.

2009: by any train departing at/after 05.00 in either direction.

B Restrictions will apply from January.

2008: no restriction

2009: outward by any train, except between 01.15 and 04.00; return any time.

C New fare structure on National Express East Coast routes.

New Super Off-peak introduced, offering virtually the same conditions and restrictions as the current Off-peak (Saver).

Super Off-peak restrictions

·  Northbound: 09.29 – 14.57 and at/after 18.59 (after 18.15 Fridays only) from King’s Cross

·  Southbound: no arrival at King’s Cross before 11.17.

The base fare (£102.40) against which the increase has been calculated is, in fact, the current Off-peak fare as no Super Off-peak on the route exists at present.

The revised Off-peak restrictions

·  Northbound: by any train

·  Southbound: no arrival at King’s Cross before 10.00

The Anytime fare to/from King’s Cross, as a result, is almost redundant.

D Restrictions will apply from January.

2008: London - Glasgow and return – no restriction.

2009: leave London at/after 09.05; arrive London at/after 10.05.

To travel earlier from London or arrive there earlier passengers must either seek an Advance ticket (for an attractive fare, subject to availability) or pay the Anytime fare for flexibility.

E via West Coast.

Restrictions will apply from January.

2008: no restriction.

2009: no arrival before 10.30 in either direction.

F via York.

Restrictions will apply from January.

2008: no restriction.

2009: any train after 05.00 in each direction.

G Restrictions will apply from January.

2008: valid by any East Coast train.

2009: outward by any East Coast train except between 01.15 and 04.00; return any time.
