Scottish Labour criticizes steep rise in Edinburgh-Glasgow train fares, now more expensive than London flights.

Scottish Labour has criticized the high cost of rail travel between Edinburgh and Glasgow, noting that a peak-time train ticket can cost more than flying to London. The fare increased to £31.40 after a government pilot scheme ended, nearly doubling the price. While the Scottish government argues that discounts are available for regular travelers, with season tickets as low as £18.52, Scottish Labour calls for reduced commuting costs.
