    Thanks very much - just used it to book some tickets for Sheffield to Scotland, and got the 50% discount (saving £88), so it appears to be any ticket which starts or ends in Scotland not just journeys within it.

    Great spot!

    By the way, you can access the offer directly at:

  • Hi, I've just used the link to get half price tickets from Peterborough to Stansted, so it looks like it is not just Scotland!
  • Great, thanks I just used it for London to Scotland and got the discount- shame you can't use railcards though.

    ScotRail offer

    ScotRail are having technical difficulties with their booking system and the 50% offer is therefore currently unavailable. We're as disappointed as you are. The offer will hopefully be back soon, please check back later.
