Commuters across Tayside, Fife and Stirling are now paying more to travel on ScotRail trains after a trial to scrap peak-time fares ended.

The Scottish Government-funded scheme began on October 2 last year and allowed passengers to travel all day on off-peak fares.

It meant a return fare between Edinburgh and Glasgow was £14.90 (off-peak) compared to the original £28.90 (peak-time).

This same journey will now cost £31.40.
