    If it wins then you'd have to share it. Still a great offer though. Booked a few journeys for OH to travel to his work.

Can anybody gather support by emaiing the scotrail site asking for it to be put on until midnight 1st septmeber as thier promotion was very misleading. the more emails they get the better the chance. thanks guys!
