ScotRail’s half-price ticket sale will begin on Thursday the 26th of January until Thursday the 2nd of February 2023. Millions of half-price tickets will be available for off-peak train fares providing people with the chance to visit Scotland by train at bargain prices.

Tickets in the half-price sale can be used between the 26th of January and the 28th of February inclusive and comes as part of the rail operators ‘Yours to Use’ initiative which aims to get more people travelling by train during the winter period.

Half-price tickets can be purchased by using the following methods and quoting the promo code SALE23:

• Online via scotrail.co.uk/sale
• Via the ScotRail app (enter promo code SALE23 in the railcards/promotions field)
• From ScotRail ticket offices
• On a ScotRail train – where no ticket office facilities are available

The half-price promo is available on all off-peak tickets on ScotRail services and is valid for return travel within a month. The sale offers a fantastic way for customers to take a winter break or a great day out. Customers can buy as many half-price tickets as they wish!

ScotRail is also enabling its Kids for a Quid deal in conjunction with the half-price sale tickets which means as many as four children will be able to travel with each adult for just £1 return each.

Transport Minister Jenny Gilruth MSP said: “This ticket offer is just one of the ways in which the Scottish Government is ensuring a publicly owned and operated ScotRail can deliver real benefits and savings for passengers.

“We need more people to return to Scotland’s trains and I would encourage anyone thinking about travelling by rail to take up this opportunity for half-price travel.”

Lesley Kane, ScotRail Commercial Director, said: “This fantastic offer will mean more people can get out and enjoy Scotland for less this winter and is a reminder that Scotland’s Railway is ‘Yours to Use’.

“Travelling by train is such a great way to experience Scotland, and we hope everyone takes advantage while they can make such a huge saving.”
