Response
Under the terms of the Franchise Agreement, the annual regulated rail fares increase in Scotland is set by ScotRail. Regulated fares are Season tickets, Anytime single/return, Anytime day single/return, Off-peak single/return, and Off-peak day single/return.
The annual regulated rail fares increase is calculated by ScotRail under the formula RPI (Retail Price Index) plus 0% for peak fares, and RPI minus 1% for off-peak fares. Unregulated fares including Super Off Peak and Advance fares are a commercial matter for ScotRail.
