    This is a great wee tip for people who travel to work after 9am and buy daily tickets like myself. Just halved my travel for the next 2 weeks :)
    Free stuff is GOOD stuff :p

    Are you saying the English (or Welsh) are not allowed to take part?

    Please advise why you think the title is wrong.

    Well thats how it usually works in Scotland.. free prescriptions and education for the Scottish yet the English get nothing - either side of the wall.

    That causes a lot of bad feelings for us English.. something which has happened so many times throughout history.

    Get a grip will you! Scotrail (apart from the Sleeper) operate in Scotland and its fares are available to anyone of any nationality. If you are registered with a GP in Scotland you will get free prescriptions, doesn't matter who you are. And yes, free university places have a residency qualification, but that applies to everyone regardless of nationality, including people who would regard themselves as Scots.

    I don't really understand why decisions taken by the Scottish Government on distribution of the finances within their control should disturb you in any way, perhaps you should consider being a bit less of a sensitive soul.

    For your information, I am English but have lived quite happily in Scotland for most of the last 20 years.
