Linlithgow MSP Fiona Hyslop has welcomed the ScotRail announcement that there will be an expansion of its Flexipass product to include more routes across Scotland’s Railway.
This expansion will benefit Bathgate residents, meaning that with a Flexipass ticket passengers will be able to make 12 journeys for the price of 10 and are valid over a 60-day period.
The Flexipass price per return from Bathgate to Edinburgh will be £8.32, and for Bathgate to Glasgow it will be £13.32.
Fiona said: “I am glad to see that ScotRail have put the feedback they have received from their customers into action.
“The Flexipass tickets help people who travel the same route regularly via the train to save money, which has been a particular concern to my Constituents during this cost-of-living crisis.
“Many of my constituents commute in and out of West Lothian, and it also vital to our environment that our rail services are affordable in order to encourage commuters to choose rail travel to move around Scotland for their work education and leisure, rather than making car journeys.”
