Start Crowther reports on the STV Forres
site: "... for Forres to Aberdeen passengers booking in advance would pay
an astonishing £29.60 for a return journey, nearly £13 more than the cheapest
fare from Nairn where passengers using the same trains are charged £17."
The £17 deal for an advance return from
Nairn to Aberrdeen is quite a good deal and a train trip to Aberdeen

Looks like Stuart just cost Nairnites a fare hike, cheers pal
Yeah what a banana, thanks
Brilliant, nice one, if Nairn fares go up I'll personally send him my bill each week
Like the other posts I too think the only outcome that Richard Lochhead MSP will get from First Scotrail will be a 'rebalancing' fare hike for Nairnites. That could be an own goal for the SNP.
The real issue that the Moray MSP should have been raising is equality of fares across the whole of Scotland.
This is especially the case as the SNP government extended the First Scotrail contract and have the power to close the gap between north and south fares.
Message to Richard L - surely being in government means you should be looking at the bigger picture.
