scotrail prices

Would the prices listed on their website(running the journey planner) be the same as the prices paid when buying on the train or at the station?

I would phone but there's a waiting time, presumably with the weather and I didn't want bog them down even more with such a simple request.

Thanks

Depends on how far ahead you are planning, in my experience. Greater than about 2 weeks and they are cheaper than you would get by paying at the station/train.

Yeah they are the same.

Tomorrow. So, you reckon their prices aren't the same across the board?

No, they are not neccesarily the same.

All the walk-on fares are the same - so if its, say, listed an 'Off Peak' ticket then it's the same.

I'd watch out most train operators don't allow you to buy off peak tickets on the train, so make sure to buy them before on the station.
