Scotland freezes rail fares for 2026-27, continuing affordability efforts ahead of budget vote.
The Scottish Government has frozen rail fares for the 2026-27 financial year, preventing the usual April increase and building on the 2025 abolition of peak fares.
First Minister John Swinney said the move aims to ease the cost of living and make rail travel more affordable, while continuing investment in the network.
The announcement comes ahead of the first vote on the 2026-27 Budget, which will pass without a coalition agreement after Scottish Labour announced it would abstain.
Swinney highlighted priorities including NHS funding, housing, and family support.
The Scottish Greens, while open to cooperation, have not yet backed the Budget, calling for expanded free bus travel for under-30s and automatic state-funded childcare from age three.
