Customers who buy Off-Peak return tickets will have up to one month to use the return portion of their ticket – up to Monday, 29 May 2023 for tickets purchased on 30 April. 

To take advantage of the savings, all students need to do is turn up at a staffed ticket office with their valid student photo ID, purchase their half-price ticket, and jump on board.  

Tickets can also be purchased on-board trains if students are travelling from a station where no ticket office is available. 

Full terms and conditions are available on the ScotRail website.

Claire Dickie, ScotRail Head of Retail, said: “We’re delighted to pass on savings to students in Scotland once again, with the return of our half-price offer this Spring. 

“With the longer days returning, it’s the perfect time to explore Scotland or take a well-earned break from studies and head into town with friends.  

“Our half-price ticket offer will help students make the most of Spring and Easter.”
